Geroy Simon hauled in seven catches for yards and a touchdown in the victory. Of note: this game also marked the debut of defensive back Tad Kornegay who was cut loose only two weeks earlier by those same Riders. And that leads us to the next big result……. The arrival of Bruce in a bye-week trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in late July is probably worthy of its own big moment on this Grey Cup road. Bruce was a one-man wrecking crew in the thumping of the Green and Gold with nine receptions for yards and two touchdowns.
A ferocious Lions defensive front would not be denied on this night, sacking quarterback Ricky Ray eight times. The Lions were now with two visits from the first place Eskimos to come in the final six weeks of the regular season. This convincing win would go a long way in setting the table for a big race for home-field advantage in November. There was a familiar foe looking to stay in that mix as well……. Fun fact. Paul McCallum deserves some of the credit for that.
One week after returning to the refurbished BC Place and taking down the Eskimos , the rejuvenated Lions were and riding a six-game winning streak. This visit from the Stamps had all the earmarks of a possible letdown.
The stunning turn of events put Calgary ahead BC beat Edmonton in Week 8, and the Lions just kept winning, losing just once in their final 10 games. Travis Lulay threw for 4, yards with 32 touchdowns, and Canadian junior football league star Andrew Harris announced himself as the next great Canadian running back.
The Lions were the favourites when they arrived at the 99th Grey Cup at home inside the renovated BC Place Stadium and cruised to a win over Winnipeg. The last time a team had won the Grey Cup inside its home stadium was , when the Lions beat the Baltimore Stallions.
