  "account": "VANCOUVER – B.C. Lions running back Zander Horvath is gaining attention as the team continues its three-game winning streak. In that stretch, Horvath has racked up 355 yards on 7.4 yards per carry, scoring six touchdowns (five rushing, one receiving). During an interview, Horvath acknowledged the attention he's received but emphasized that it's a team effort. He's now in his second CFL season and has already outperformed his numbers from last year, amassing more than double the rushing yards and touchdowns. The Lions' head coach, Buck Pierce, attributes Horvath's growth to increased play count and more touches, crediting his hard work and understanding of the team's systems. Selected in the NFL draft, Horvath had brief stints with several teams before joining the Lions this season. Known for his strength and speed, Saskatchewan's head coach Corey Mace believes the Lions have become a \"better version\" of their early-season performance and sees Horvath as a formidable opponent. Despite the attention, Horvath remains focused on the bigger picture and the upcoming game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.",
