  "account": "Zander Horvath delivered a stellar performance, rushing for 164 yards and tallying four touchdowns, as the B.C. Lions defeated the winless Ottawa Redblacks 45-24 on Sunday night. The Ottawa Redblacks, who had not won a game in over a year, suffered their longest losing streak of the CFL's modern era, extending it to 17 games. Jake Maier had a rough time, becoming the first quarterback in the CFL to lose 11 straight starts. Despite a 14-yard touchdown pass from Jake Maier to Jevon Cottoy, and a 49-yard touchdown run by Ayden Eberhardt, the Redblacks were unable to capitalize on their early lead. A pivotal 25-yard unnecessary roughness penalty led to a 31-yard touchdown run by Horvath, extending the Lions' lead to 31-24 with less than three minutes remaining.",
