Yesterday at 01:21 AM
Back-to-back touchdowns led the BC Lions to a 32-15 win over the Calgary Stampeders on Friday night in Vancouver.

STAT PACK
Jake Maier – 19-for-27 for 164-yards, one touchdown, two interceptions
Peyton Logan – 15 carries for 89 yards
Reggie Begelton – 73 yards and one touchdown
Julien Howsare – six tackles and two sacks
The Lions started with the ball on Friday night in Vancouver. After a couple of first downs the Stampeders forced a punt thanks to a Julian Howsare sack on second down.
The Stampeders were driving into Lions territory but fumbled the football which was recovered by the BC and returned to the Calgary 22-yardline. The Lions would open the scoring with a field-goal to make it 3-0.
That would be the only scoring heading into the second-quarter.
Howsare got another second-down sack to stall the first Lions drive of the quarter and get the ball back at the Calgary 35-yardline following a Leo’s punt.
Calgary ran the ball effectively on their next drive leading to a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jake Maier to Ishmael Hyman to give the Stampeders the 7-3 lead.

The Stampeders booted a 56-yard punt-single on their first possession of the second-half to make the score 8-6.
The Lions moved the ball through the air leading to another field-goal, giving them the 9-8 lead with 6:49 to go in the third-quarter.
BC hit for a big passing play of 50-yards to get down to the Stampeders 32-yardline as the game rolled into the fourth-quarter.
That drive was ended with a 15-yard field-goal to make the Lions lead 12-8 with 11:49 remaining in the game.
Maier was picked-off on the next Stamps drive and the interception was taken all the way back for a touchdown to make the score 19-8.
The Lions swatted down a backwards screen pass on the next drive and scooped the fumble for their second-straight defensive touchdown to make the score 26-8 with 8:21 to go.
The Stamps were intercepted again on the next drive. The Lions returned the ball to the Calgary 18-yardline. The Lions go a field-goal out of that drive to extend their lead to 29-8.
Matt Shiltz came in at quarterback for Calgary and found Reggie Begelton from 53-yards out to cut the Lions lead to 29-14.
Deep shot for six! @ReggieBegelton gets behind the BC defence for the major. He’s just six yards away from 1,000 for the season.#CFLGameDay LIVE on @TSN_Sports
