Ticats snap five-game losing skid with 34-16 win over winless Redblacks

Kenny Lawler played a pivotal role in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' 34-16 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks, catching six passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. This performance helped the Tiger-Cats end their five-game losing streak. Ottawa, currently winless on the season, suffered a 15-0 loss in their most recent game. Harrison Frost was instrumental in the win, completing 28 of 35 passes for 342 yards, scoring two touchdowns, and throwing one interception.

McLeod Bethel-Thompson struggled to find his rhythm, going 17-for-31 for 208 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The Tiger-Cats took an early lead in the third quarter, scoring a five-yard touchdown pass from Lawler after an 11-play drive. Frost continued to impress on the next drive, connecting with Lawler again for a 41-yard touchdown and extending the Tiger-Cats lead to 27-16.

Jake Dolegala added to the score with a one-yard run. Despite Ottawa's efforts, they were unable to mount a comeback, with their only points coming from a 17-yard field goal and a 49-yard field goal. Hamilton secured the win with a 38-yard field goal late in the game.
