The Bombers defence led the way, causing seven turnovers and holding the Tiger-Cats high-powered offence to just one touchdown.
"This will definitely lift Winnipeg's spirits," Chris added.
Shortly after the game ended, Portage & Main was flooded with Bombers fans, eager to celebrate with the city.
Zach has never seen the Bombers win a championship before and watched the entire game with his father, who has been taking him to games since he was four-years-old.
"It feels very terrific," Zach, 20, said.
