The Lions have secured a spot in the CFL's post-season.
Taquan Mizzell ran in a pair of touchdowns as the B.C. Lions clinched a playoff spot with a 37-29 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
“It wasn’t pretty, but we got it done,” Adams said. “I know I have to be better for my team moving forward. We started off hot, but then I was kind of up and down.Canadian QB Tre Ford had two TD passes on 182 yards as Edmonton saw its faint playoff hopes almost disappear. "The last two times we played them, we didn't score any points and looking back last year, they blew us out a whole bunch," said Ford. "So, definitely a step in the right direction."
B.C. made up for it immediately, though, as Adams found Jevon Cottoy, who shrugged off a badly-missed tackle attempt by Mark McLaurin and scampered 57 yards into the end zone. The Elks finally got their listless offence going late in the second quarter when Ford hit Dillon Mitchell in the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown, the first offensive points recorded by Edmonton in 148:34 of game play against B.C. this season.
