Lions Roar in Calgary, Nathan Rourke Uses Legs and Arm in 52-23 Win over Stampeders

On Friday, B.C. quarterback Nathan Rourke ran for three touchdowns and threw for two, powering a 52-23 win over the Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium.
Billed as a clash, the matchup saw Vernon Adams Jr. throw two early interceptions, but B.C. built a 21-0 lead despite missing James Butler, CFL rushing leader.
Rourke's stat line showed he completed 20 of 24 passes for 331 yards and rushed for 43 yards, setting a Canadian single-season passing mark of 3,935 yards surpassing Russ Jackson's 3,641.
The Lions extended their streak of scoring 30-plus points to seven straight games, while Calgary dropped its second straight loss despite contributions from Quincy Vaughn, Tevin Jones and Rene Paredes.
Next Friday, the B.C. Lions visit the Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders travel to the Montreal Alouettes.
