Lions look to build on 36-24 win over Elks after bye week
B.C. was the only CFL team to beat Edmonton this season heading into the July matchup, and now returns from its bye looking to make it two straight against the Elks.
The B.C. Lions are set to face the Edmonton Elks again after coming off their bye week, looking to build on a 36-24 road win over Edmonton that snapped the Elks' hold as the only unbeaten team against them this season.
B.C. improved to 1-3 with the July 4 victory over Edmonton, which entered that game with a 4-1 record. Quarterback Nathan Rourke led the Lions to the win before the team went into its bye week.
The Elks, who had been one of the CFL's stronger teams this season at 4-1 before the loss, will look to respond as B.C. returns to action chasing a second consecutive win over Edmonton.
