THE MOJ: B.C. Lions Watch Intently as CFL Teams Jockey for Playoff Position
The Lions have won nine of their last 10 games and can host the Western Semi-Final or Final with two regular-season games left.
With a 10-6 record, the BC Lions can clinch a home playoff date as soon as this weekend against the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday in Calgary while chasing the Edmonton Elks for first place in the West.
Following a 1-5 start that put the team in last place, the Lions have won nine of their last 10 games to climb the West Division standings.
Right tackle Tyran Walker-Hunt, inserted into the starting lineup in Week 7, has become a solid contributor after being cut and re-signed; his technique now matches his athleticism.
Head coach Buck Pierce expressed confidence after Friday's victory, stating "They're able to continue to believe if they get another opportunity that we're going to be successful." This belief fuels the team's push.
The Lions aim to end a championship drought dating to 2011. They are likely to host the Western Semifinal on Oct. 31, with hopes of hosting the Western Final on Nov. 7.
