Trailing 17-10 with 5:05 to go, the Riders pulled one of the worst fake field goals of recent memory on a third and two in Winnipeg territory. First, it took five seconds to run it from reset to ball snap, giving the defenders plenty of time. Second, backup QB Brandon Bridge presented three tight-ends right with an empty backfield, telegraphing the direction. Third, instead of running right off his blocker's butts (he would have made it), Bridge went for a promenade down the line until he was about four yards from first down. Tackled. Terrible. The defence played well in this one, holding Bombers to 17 points. Darian Durant (23-of-36, 283 yards) was strong, but too many penalties hurt. Naaman Roosevelt (six catches for 121 yards) is a weapon to build off for next year.

not to mention it was a FG attempt at 56 yards
I hope Jones stays with the Riders for the next 10 years
