90-34 – the total score between the Tiger-Cats and Bombers in two games this season. The Ticats won the first matchup of the season 52-26 in Winnipeg and triumphed 38-8 in last night’s contest.
+46 – the Tiger-Cats point differential at Tim Hortons Field through two home games this season.
8 – through eight regular season games at Tim Hortons Field, the Ticats have allowed just eight touchdowns to opposing teams. In four of those eight games, the Ticats have held a 20+ point lead.

118 – interception return yards for Ticats defensive back Emanuel Davis. In one game, Davis racked up more interception yards than any other player has totalled over the course of the season.
