Bring home the bacon - BE a winner in a game you are involved in.

Is there a question? You seem to have a view of the meaning already. Some people do use it in this way. A lot of people in the UK don't. For us* it means 'provide for a family/"put food on the table"*...'

*Note: in this idiom, the food, the table, and the 'put'ter are all metaphorical. The person who 'brings home the bacon' may just get a monthly pay cheque.

* I don't mean 'we in the UK'; I know you are too. I mean 'those of us who talk like me in this respect'! I imagine you are young enough to have acquired a sense of the expression which we old folks would regard as 'American' - particularly as spoken by sports commentators. (This may sound like naked flattery, but it's my guess.)

In the US "bring home the bacon" has the same meaning BobK described. (Although in our case it's "streaky bacon")
