Chase Brice threw four interceptions and the Elks made every one of them count in a 19-17 win.<\/p>\n
The Edmonton Elks<\/a> improved to 5-1 with a gritty two-point win over the BC Lions<\/a> at Commonwealth Stadium, and it wasn’t pretty on either side. BC actually piled up a 10-point fourth quarter<\/a> to make it look close on the scoreboard, but the Lions<\/a> dug themselves too deep a hole in the first three quarters and fall to 1-4. Edmonton<\/a> didn’t blow anyone away either \u2014 Cody Fajardo threw for 282 yards but managed just one touchdown \u2014 but the Elks defense turned Brice’s mistakes into the difference. Lions star QB Nathan Rourke exited Friday night’s early with an apparent elbow injury.<\/p>\n Box Score<\/p>\n Team<\/p>\n Q1<\/p>\n Q2<\/p>\n Q3<\/p>\n Q4<\/p>\n OT<\/p>\n Final<\/p>\n BC Lions<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 17<\/p>\n Edmonton Elks<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 19<\/p>\n See full player stats and game details<\/a><\/p>\n Game Highlights<\/p>\n Top PerformersEdmonton ElksBC LionsTeam Stats<\/p>\n Stat<\/p>\n BC Lions<\/p>\n Edmonton Elks<\/p>\n Total Yards<\/p>\n 241<\/p>\n 309<\/p>\n Passing<\/p>\n 20\/34, 226 yds, 1 TD<\/p>\n 27\/37, 282 yds, 1 TD<\/p>\n Rushing<\/p>\n 11 att, 15 yds, 1 TD<\/p>\n 13 att, 27 yds, 0 TD<\/p>\n Turnovers<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n Quick Hits<\/p>\n Brice’s four interceptions were the story of the game \u2014 BC out-gained the turnover margin by miles but couldn’t cash in until it was too late.<\/p>\n Edmonton’s defense spread the wealth on takeaways, with Tyrell Ford<\/a>, Gavin Meyer<\/a> and JJ Ross<\/a> each grabbing one of Brice’s picks.<\/p>\n Fajardo threw for nearly 300 yards but just one touchdown \u2014 solid volume for fantasy owners, but the red-zone efficiency wasn’t there.<\/p>\n What’s Next<\/p>\n Edmonton Elks (5-1) \u2014 at Saskatchewan Roughriders, July 23<\/p>\n BC Lions (1-4) \u2014 host Toronto Argonauts, July 25<\/p>\n CFL Standings<\/a> | Full Schedule<\/a> | League Leaders<\/a><\/p>\n What’s your takeaway?
