Should the Bombers clinch, they will be the second team to do so alongside the Calgary Stampeders. The last time the Bombers qualified for the playoffs was in 2011 when they won the East Division and earned a spot in the Grey Cup against the eventual champion BC Lions.
The East Division is still wide open but so to is the door for a team from the West to crossover with just over a month remaining in the regular season.
