  "account": "Sean Whyte scored a club-record eight field goals, leading the B.C. Lions to a 24-17 victory over the Toronto Argonauts in a road game on Saturday. The Lions secured their third straight win and seventh in eight games, moving them to second place in the West Division. Meanwhile, Toronto's four-game winning streak was halted, and they suffered their first loss at BMO Field in five games. The Argonauts, who have already secured a home playoff game, fell to the Lions for the first time there. Toronto's Nick Arbuckle threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns but also had two interceptions, the second of which was a game-sealing interception at the one-yard line with 11 seconds left. The Lions' Nathan Rourke completed 15-of-32 passes for 254 yards. Arbuckle finished with 36 yards on a touchdown pass to David Ungerer. Whyte's 40-yard field goal in the third quarter extended the Lions' lead to 18-10. Whyte also kicked a 29-yard field goal and a 40-yard field goal, while a 12-yard field goal came late in the second quarter. The Argonauts' Makai Polk scored the team's other touchdown. Lirim Hajrullahu added two more field goals and a conversion. Toronto had an opportunity to force overtime after B.C. stopped Toronto quarterback Nick Arbuckle twice at the one-yard line, but B.C. held on to secure the win.",
