Late field goal powers B.C. Lions to victory over Hamilton Tiger-Cats

VANCOUVER — Nathan Rourke knows he wasn't at his best. After missing a pair of games with a left shoulder injury, the B.C. Lions quarterback admitted there were points during Saturday's contest with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats where he "wasn't trusting it." “I think that's just part of coming back and missing some time, and just kind of getting back into the rhythm of things," said the CFL's Most Outstanding Player of 2025. "It's different when there's live bullets, right? So it's just getting comfortable with that again, and I'm glad that we figured it out." Rourke passed for 370 yards in his return, and the Lions held on for a 27-24 victory over the Ticats. The Canadian QB made good on 22 of his 39 attempts for B.C. (3-5), including touchdown passes to Zander Horvath and Justin McInnis.
