The 53rd Grey Cup, also known as the Wind Bowl, was hosted at CNE Stadium in Toronto, Ontario on November 27, 1965. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 22-16.
Game Summary
The game was dominated by a strong wind blowing the length of the field. In the third quarter, with Winnipeg facing the wind, Bombers' coach Bud Grant instructed quarterback Kenny Ploen to concede a series of safety touches to retain possession of the ball. In the fourth quarter with the wind at their backs, the Bombers began a last-minute drive which was snuffed out when Winnipeg fullback Art Perkins was stopped cold on a third-and-one gamble.
Trivia
As a result of the strategy employed by the Bombers, the rules were changed for the 1966 season to provide that a team scoring a safety touch is entitled to possession of the ball after the score.
