B.C. Lions move into second place tie in the West with the home victory over the Tiger\u002DCats
: “It feels good to finally get out there again running around and not just being a decoy.”An ankle injury suffered against the Argos had slowed the Lions receiver the past few games, and he’d yet to make it into the end zone this season. That changed on Thursday, with the former Dallas Cowboy pulling in a season-high in receiving yards, catching eight of nine targets. His one drop turned into Rourke’s first interception of the night.
He wasn’t the only Lion who made it in; Jevon Cottoy capped off a six-play, 76-yard drive with a 14-yard catch in the second quarter. He busted a massive 37-yarder in the first quarter, a backfield juke followed by him bursting through the line like the old-school Kool-Aid commercials. A couple stiff arms to the face of Tunde Adelke gained him another 20 yards before he was pushed out of bounds.Coming into the game, the Lions had converted on 63 per cent of their second downs in their three wins. Their one loss to Winnipeg, in which they didn’t get inside the 30-yard line? A mere 37.5.
