Lions 22, Alouettes 10: Jonathon Jennings threw for 183 yards and a pair of touchdowns as host BC held Montreal scoreless over the final three quarters in the season opener for both teams.

Jennings completed his first 10 passes en route to a 20-of-24 performance and added a career-high 57 rushing yards to help the Lions notch their sixth straight win against the Alouettes. Shaq Johnson and Cory Watson each caught a touchdown pass for BC, which recorded five sacks.

Drew Willy went 25-of-35 for 281 yards but threw a costly interception as the Alouettes dropped their 12th straight game, which is the longest losing streak in franchise history. Geno Lewis scored a touchdown and Chris Williams had six receptions for 98 yards against his former team as Montreal couldn't overcome 12 penalties for 100 yards.

Lewis pounced on a loose ball in the end zone after Williams fumbled on the goal line to put the Alouettes on top 7-0 before Jennings found a wide-open Johnson for a 35-yard touchdown to level the score. Boris Bede kicked a 30-yard field goal to put Montreal back on top 10-7 before a pair of punt singles by Ty Long brought BC within one at halftime.

Long connected on a 27-yard field goal to give the Lions their first lead at 12-10 with 2:44 remaining in the third quarter before converting a 30-yard attempt to extend the advantage to five early in the fourth. BC capitalized on an interception by Willy as Jennings threw an 11-yard scoring strike to Watson to put the Lions ahead 22-10 with 6:11 to go and they cruised the rest of the way.
