Late field goal powers B.C. Lions to 27-24 victory over Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Nathan Rourke, the B.C. Lions quarterback, returned from a left shoulder injury and led his team to a 27-24 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Despite missing two games, Rourke completed 22 of his 39 passes, including two touchdown passes, for 370 yards. The Lions held on for the win, with Justin McInnis scoring a crucial touchdown in the second half.

The Ticats, who had 239 passing yards from Harrison Frost, managed to score a touchdown despite losing their starting quarterback to a finger injury. The Lions' defense played "extremely well" and found an identity under head coach Buck Pierce.
