B.C. Lions 37, Edmonton Elks 24: Surging Vancouver Win

With 74 seconds left in the opening half, Nathan Rourke marched the Lions 78 yards in eight plays, throwing three consecutive first-down passes.

B.C. Lions cornerback Robert Carter Jr. made one of the biggest plays of the game, picking off a Cody Fajardo pass early in the third quarter and returning it 50 yards for a touchdown.

The Lions overcame a deficit by scoring 25 consecutive points, resulting in a 37-24 win that eliminated the Edmonton Elks from the CFL playoffs Friday night.

Carter was so excited after giving the Lions a 17-10 lead that he threw the ball into the stands.
