Winnipeg QB Chris Streveler impressive in Bombers 56-10 rout of Alouettes
MONTREAL — Blue Bombers coach Mike O’Shea says his rookie quarterback isn’t playing like a rookie at all.
QB Chris Streveler picked apart the Alouettes defence in the air and on the ground as Winnipeg walked all over Montreal 56-10 on Friday night. Streveler scored three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. The 23-year-old went 22 for 28 for 246 yards and ran for a team-high 98 yards.
“He’s shown that he has the ability to learn on a daily basis, and on a series-by-series basis,” said O’Shea of Streveler. “If he keeps that up, he’ll be a lot of fun to watch. He knows he has some work to do, but boy, he’s executing at a really high level.”
Streveler, replacing starter Matt Nichols (knee injury), shone in just his second Canadian Football League game.
