Elks beat Lions to advance to Grey Cup
Cody Fajardo used his legs and his arms to engineer two fourth-quarter touchdowns to guide the Edmonton Elks to a 28-16 win over the B.C. Lions in the West Division final on Saturday.
On Saturday, Cody Fajardo led the Edmonton Elks to a 28-16 victory over the B.C. Lions in the West Division final, securing their spot in the Grey Cup. At Commonwealth Stadium, the largest crowd of the year, Fajardo's crucial fourth-quarter touchdown runs of 11 and 14 yards, coupled with two rough play penalties against the Lions, solidified the Elks' lead.
Despite Justin McInnis' fumble on a pass reception, a return for three yards by Edmonton's JJ Ross sparked a 46-yard field goal by Vincent Blanchard, further widening the Elks' advantage. The Elks will face the Montreal Alouettes in the Grey Cup in Calgary on November 15.
