THE MOJ: B.C. Lions continue roll with unusual win over Toronto

On Saturday, the B.C. Lions defeated the Toronto Argonauts 24-17 at BMO Field, with kicker Sean Whyte booting a team-record eight field goals in an unusual victory that lacked a touchdown.
The Lions parted ways with defensive back Josh Haggerty on Tuesday after he completed a two-game suspension for punching Als running back Liam Talbot on two separate occasions.
Late-Game defensive heroics preserved the Lions' lead, as linebacker T.J. Lee recorded an interception and the team executed an unbelievable goal-line stand in the final three minutes of play.
The 9-6 Lions host the winless Ottawa Redblacks on Friday night at BC Place Stadium, with coverage on 730 CKNW and Sher-E- Punjab Radio starting at 7 p.m.
Quarterback Nathan Rourke needs just 11 yards to become the CFL's 54th all-time leading passer, currently holding a career total of 15,279 yards.
