B.C. Lions defeat Toronto Argonauts 24-17 behind record eight field goals

The B.C. Lions defeated the Toronto Argonauts 24-17 at BMO Field, driven by a franchise-record performance from kicker Sean Whyte. Whyte successfully converted eight field goals, setting a new club mark and surpassing his previous personal best of seven.

Quarterback Nathan Rourke contributed 254 passing yards and 50 rushing yards for the Lions (9-6). The victory marks their third consecutive win. The Argonauts (9-7), led by quarterback Nick Arbuckle who was filling in for the injured Chad Kelly, saw their four-game winning streak end despite Arbuckle throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns.

The game was decided late in the fourth quarter when the Lions' defense executed a critical goal-line stand, stopping Toronto twice at the one-yard line to preserve the lead.
