Mitchell completed 19 of 24 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns as Hamilton built a 24-10 halftime lead.
- On Thursday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats spoiled the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' home opener with a 37-27 victory at Princess Auto Stadium, led by quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell's two touchdown passes to Kiondre Smith.
- Winnipeg played before a 15th consecutive capacity crowd of 32,343 but fell to 1-1, marking only the second time in seven seasons the Blue Bombers failed to start 2-0.
- Mitchell completed 19 of 24 pass attempts for 287 yards, while CFL newcomer Larry Rountree III gained 67 of his 124 rushing yards in the second half and Marc Liegghio made field goals from 53, 46, and 23 yards.
- Hamilton defensive back Jamal Peters was taken off the field on a stretcher early in the first quarter after a collision; despite a late surge by Winnipeg to 34-27, Hamilton sealed the victory with a 23-yard field goal.
