James Butler and Zander Horvath combined for 165 yards on the ground. It was not the same ground-and-pound game that saw Horvath get four touchdowns on 164 yards by himself in Week 13, but the offence was firing on all cylinders, with Sean Whyte not called upon at all for field goals Friday. <\/p>\n

The Lions’ defence held McLeod Bethel-Thompson and the REDBLACKS offence to just 20 points and under 300 yards of net offence.<\/p>\n

CFL.ca brings you three key stats that defined the BC Lions’ 41-20 win over the Ottawa REDBLACKS on Mobil Thanksgiving Weekend.<\/p>\n
