Ottawa, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonathan Williams rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns as the Ottawa RedBlacks cruised past the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 42-20, at TD Place.

Ottawa (2-11) quarterback Henry Burris added a touchdown on the ground as well as 284 yards and an interception on 24-of-31 passing.

Drew Willy threw for 223 yards and connected on 19-of-30 pass attempts for Winnipeg (6-8) but he was also intercepted three times.

Travis Brown picked off a pass from Willy early in the first quarter and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown.

The Blue Bombers evened the score when Maurice Leggett returned a 48-yard missed field goal for a touchdown. They then pulled ahead on a nine-yard field goal from Lirim Hajrullahu.

Ottawa reclaimed the lead in the second quarter on a 53-yard touchdown run by Williams.
