VANCOUVER \u2014 The BC Lions moved back to .500 with a convincing 36-18 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday at Save-on-Foods Field at BC Place.<\/p>\n
The Lions put together a complete performance on both sides of the ball, headlined by quarterback Nathan Rourke<\/a> throwing for over 300 yards for the sixth time in 2025 to go alongside four majors.<\/p>\n Receiver Keon Hatcher Sr. had his best game of the season, catching all 11 passes thrown in his direction for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow pass-catchers Justin McInnis<\/a> and Stanley Berryhill III added majors of their own in yet another explosive performance for the Lions offence.<\/p>\n On defence the Lions were able to keep the Alouettes away from the end zone for most of the game, forcing Montreal to settle for four field goals by kicker Jos\u00e9 Maltos D\u00edaz before a late touchdown by receiver Tyler Snead<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Alouettes had to deal with yet another injury at quarterback, this time to Caleb Evans<\/a> who was replaced by James Morgan<\/a> in the second quarter. Morgan finished 20 of 33 for 211 yards and a touchdown but was unable to prevent the Als from dropping their third straight game.<\/p>\n RELATED \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The hosts started the game by driving down the field for a quick score. Rourke connected with McInnis and Hatcher Sr. to move into Sean Whyte<\/a>\u2018s range for an early 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n An acrobatic interception by Alouettes\u2019 linebacker Tyrice Beverette stopped yet another promising drive for the Lions halfway through the first quarter.<\/p>\n Rourke and Hatcher Sr. put together yet another long drive later in the quarter that ended on Whyte\u2019s second field goal of the game.<\/p>\n
