Having to play LeFevour, with Dominique Davis as backup, instead of Nichols due to injury greatly reduces the Bombers' chances of winning and thereby earning a home playoff game.

LeFevour – 2-5 as a starter in the CFL – takes the place of Matt Nichols who had started all 17 games for Winnipeg this season – and 30 in a row since taking over for Drew Willy in 2016 – and thrown for 4,472 yards with a league-best 28-8 TD-INT ratio in 2017. ...
LeFevour has more experience than Davis, playing in 26 games through five seasons connecting on 222-of-334 attempts for 2,529 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, adding 903 rushing yards on 187 carries and 17 touchdowns on the ground.
