The B.C. Lions secured a 24-17 victory over the Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field, marking their third consecutive win and bringing their record to 9-6. This victory represented the team’s first win at the venue since 2019. During the match, Sean Whyte set a franchise record by successfully kicking eight field goals in his 100th game with the team, surpassing his previous personal best of seven.

Quarterback Nathan Rourke recorded 254 passing yards and 50 rushing yards to support the Lions. The Argonauts, who fell to 9-7, saw their four-game winning streak end. Led by quarterback Nick Arbuckle—who was filling in for the injured Chad Kelly—the Argonauts saw Arbuckle throw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. The game was ultimately decided late in the fourth quarter when the Lions' defense executed a critical goal-line stand and forced two turnovers in the final minutes to preserve the lead.

Following the victory, the B.C. Lions announced they have parted ways with defensive back Josh Haggerty. This decision follows Haggerty’s two-game suspension for punching Montreal Alouettes running back Liam Talbot during a previous game. 

With this win, the Lions have moved closer to hosting the Western semifinal on October 31. Both the B.C. Lions and the Calgary Stampeders have the opportunity to clinch CFL playoff berths this week with upcoming victories.
