Lions come off bye week chasing second straight victory versus Elks
B.C. aims for a second straight win after holding Edmonton to 24 points in a 36-24 victory earlier this month.
- On Friday, the Lions resume CFL play against the Edmonton Elks at Commonwealth Stadium, seeking a second consecutive victory after their bye week.
- Roughly two weeks ago, quarterback Nathan Rourke led the Lions to a 36-24 victory over Edmonton on July 4, marking the only time this season an opponent has defeated the Elks.
- Edmonton enters the rematch coming off a 40-17 home win over Ottawa last week, with running back Justin Rankin recording 107 yards and two touchdowns rushing plus 43 yards receiving.
- Defensively, the Lions previously limited Rankin to just 19 yards on seven carries, while Edmonton's defence has forced 16 total turnovers this season, setting up a critical turnover battle.
- Victory for the Lions would build momentum after their bye week; the Elks hold a 4-1 record and seek to protect their home field at Commonwealth Stadium.
