Lions inch closer to home playoff spot with win over Blue Bombers
Winnipeg's 7-sack performance not enough to stop BC
Lions improve to 10-4, while Blue Bombers fall to 14-2
The BC Lions took a big step towards securing a home playoff spot with a 24-9 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday in front of 28,960 fans at IG Field.
The Lions defence was dominant, sacking Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros seven times and forcing two turnovers. Meanwhile, the Lions offence did just enough to get the job done, with running back James Butler rushing for 101 yards and a touchdown.
The Blue Bombers, who had won their previous three games, came into the game with a chance to clinch first place in the West Division. But the Lions defence was simply too much for them to handle.
The Lions' defence was led by Jefferson, who had three sacks. Odell Willis and Josh Woods each had two sacks, while Steven Richardson had one.
The Lions offence wasn't as impressive as the defence, but they did enough to win the game. Quarterback Nathan Rourke threw for 183 yards and a touchdown, while Butler had a solid game on the ground.
The Lions improved to 10-4 with the win, while the Blue Bombers fell to 14-2. The Lions will be back in action next week when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The Blue Bombers will be on the road next week when they face the Edmonton Elks.
Conclusion
The Lions' win over the Blue Bombers was a big one. It moved them one step closer to securing a home playoff spot and gave them a chance to win the West Division. The Blue Bombers, on the other hand, are now in a must-win situation in their final two games of the regular season.
