VANCOUVER \u2014 The BC Lions came out on top of a tightly-fought contest against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday evening, winning 27-24 at home. Nathan Rourke<\/a>\u2018s returned from an injury absence as BC recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 ZANDER HORVATH TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

The expanded presence of Zander Horvath in the BC backfield has given his team\u2019s offence an extra element, with two strong performances from the running back helping the Lions to two consecutive wins.<\/p>\n

Horvath now has 10 touchdowns on the year after hitting pay dirt twice against the Ticats. He showed off his receiving chops once more with his third receiving major on BC\u2019s opening possession and then rumbled in at the goal line early in the second half. He finished with 62 yards on 16 attempts in the win.<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 BC LIONS SACKS ALLOWED<\/p>\n

The BC offensive line did a superb job of protecting their star quarterback in his return to action, not allowing a single sack in Saturday\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

Up against the likes of Julian Howsare<\/a> and Philip Ossai<\/a>, Rourke was afforded time to operate. If it wasn\u2019t for a couple of dropped passes and miscued plays, it could\u2019ve been an even more productive day the Canadian pivot.<\/p>\n

159 \u2013 JUSTIN MCINNIS RECEIVING YARDS<\/p>\n

It was far from a perfect day at the office for Rourke, McInnis, or the Lions\u2019 receiving room as a whole for that matter. Though McInnis would probably want to have a couple of plays back, he was able to come up big on a couple of occasions to help his team in the end.<\/p>\n

An impressive flea flicker resulted in an 82-yard passing play between Rourke and McInnis late in the first half as the hosts responded to back-to-back touchdown drives from the Tabbies. After the break, a 20-yard reception by McInnis got the chains moving on BC\u2019s first scoring drive of the second half. Late in the game, McInnis caught a 33-yard pass on second-and-long to help set up Whyte\u2019s winning kick.<\/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":851338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-851337","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\/851337","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=851337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/851338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=851337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=851337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=851337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
