Eskimos 41, Lions 22: Mike Reilly threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns as host Edmonton erased a double-digit deficit en route to its fourth straight win against BC.

Reilly completed 22-of-30 passes to go along with a touchdown on the ground while C.J. Gable rushed for 165 yards and a score for the Eskimos, who trailed 14-2 early in the second quarter. D'haquille Williams caught six passes for 129 yards and a touchdown while Kenny Stafford and Natey Adjei each added a TD grab for Edmonton, which improved to 2-1 after gaining 511 yards of total offence.

Jeremiah Johnson rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown while short-yardage quarterback Cody Fajardo added a score for BC, which hasn't recorded a victory in Edmonton since July 13, 2013.

BC capitalized on two straight Edmonton turnovers as Johnson took a direct snap 1 yard for a touchdown and Ty Long kicked a 14-yard field goal to help give the Lions an 11-2 lead after one quarter. Long tacked on a 39-yard field goal to extend BC's lead to 12 before Reilly fired 14-yard touchdown passes to Adjei and Stafford to put the Eskimos in front 17-14 at halftime.

Fajardo plowed his way into the end zone from the 1 to bring the Lions within 31-21 before Reilly answered with a quarterback sneak of his own to restore the Eskimos' 17-point cushion with 10:56 left in the fourth quarter before Sean Whyte added a 24-yard field goal to cap off the scoring.
