Winnipeg’s Brady Oliveira was named the sixth CFL rusher ever to pass 6,000 yards during a July 24, 2026 game against Calgary in a night game. He opened the second quarter of the game with a 45-yard score, bursting his team's offense, quickly energizing the fans. No other active Canadian running back has done this much yardage so far, rendering Oliveira a unique talent, creating a new benchmark. Oliveira hasn’t missed a start since 2017, exemplifying his durability, a testament of his consistency. He now leads all current CFL rushers in career yards, underscoring his position at the top, outpacing his rivals. Winnipeg still tries to make the playoffs this year, striving for a postseason berth, in spite of stiff competition.
