For the second time in less than two weeks, the BC Lions took on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and were unable to get a victory against last year’s Grey Cup runner-up.
The Leos were at home on Saturday and looking for revenge after their 34-20 loss against Winnipeg last week, but the Blue Bombers had other plans.
Down 10-3 early in the second quarter, Jeremiah Masoli, who was filling in for an injured Nathan Rourke, tossed a lateral pass and it was dropped.
Winnipeg recovered the ball and took it more than 50 yards to score a major and take a 17-3 lead.
It was not until the final minutes of the fourth quarter that the Lions scored their first touchdown, eventually falling 27-14.
Masoli finished with one touchdown, a pair of interceptions and 281 throwing yards.
The Lions will now prepare to take on the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders next weekend.
