5 \u2013 BO LEVI MITCHELL TOUCHDOWN PASSES<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to pick just one stat from Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a>\u2018s masterpiece on Friday night. The Ticats\u2019 pivot threw for five touchdowns \u2014 tied for his career-high single-game total \u2014 on his way to posting a second-straight perfect quarterback rating of 158.3. His deep ball was a major factor early, including a 56-yard touchdown strike to Kiondr\u00e9 Smith<\/a> on his second pass of the game. With less space to operate in the red zone, Mitchell was just as effective, as he fed rookie tight end Maximilian Mang a pair of touchdowns on either side of the half.<\/p>\n

With five scores and no drop-off, Mitchell dictated the game from start to finish.<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 BC TOUCHDOWNS IN FIRST THREE QUARTERS<\/p>\n

While Hamilton came out swinging with three consecutive touchdown drives, BC could only answer with field goals, two of which were under 20 yards. The Lions eventually found the end zone, but it wasn\u2019t until late in the fourth quarter when a potential comeback had shifted into the \u2018historic\u2019 range.<\/p>\n

Nathan Rourke<\/a> led a Lions offence that controlled time of possession and outgained Hamilton 444-347, but when it mattered most, the Ticats front did not break. Against a Hamilton offence that struck early and often, BC\u2019s inability to turn sustained drives into touchdowns left too much ground to make up.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 BC TURNOVERS LEADING TO TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trailing by 12 in the second quarter, the Lions were still within striking distance before a Rourke interception was immediately converted into a Hamilton touchdown. A second-half turnover on downs produced the same result, with the Tiger-Cats once again cashing in for six.<\/p>\n

In a game where Hamilton did not commit a turnover, BC\u2019s two giveaways directly produced 14 Tiger-Cats points and helped turn a manageable deficit into a much steeper climb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner, World Vision Canada works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-748825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
