The BC Lions claim the #2 spot on the Western division as Nathan Rourke returns to his MOP calibre play. This critical win makes it more likely that the Lions will host the Western semi-finals game.

The BC Lions played their best game on week 15 this CFL season. Both teams were very physical, and BC was able to match Montreal blow by blow. However this was overshadowed by an unsportsmanlike low blow, not once but twice, committed by Josh Hagerty. What was more egregious was that the game quickly devolved due to the horrendous officiating.

The BC Lions are for real. With a dominant defence, and now an offence that is starting to fire on all cylinders, the season is looking hopeful after a dismal 1-5 start.

The BC Lions defence played hard, including a tremendous goal-line stand, not once, not twice, but three times from the 1-yard line to force a turnover on downs. But unfortunately, the offence settled for five field goals, and Rourke threw an ill-timed pick-six.Catch our weekly show and let’s discuss the game, the other week 14 Labour Day CFL games, and what BC needs to do for the rematch against the Montreal Alouettes.

The BC Lions self-inflict some early adversity, but was able to bounce back and win an important game to keep up with the tight Western division.
