VANCOUVER – They opened the season with a whimper, but Travis Lulay and the B.C. Lions ended it with a bang Sunday.
Game MVP Travis Lulay threw two second-half touchdown passes to lead B.C. to an exciting 34-23 Grey Cup win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday. The victory, before an ear-splitting B.C. Place sellout of 54,313, capped a stunning turnaround for the Lions, who opened the season 0-5.
B.C. became the first team in CFL history to win the Grey Cup after losing its first five regular-season games. The Lions also became the first squad since ’94 to capture the league title at home.
B.C. was the last club to accomplish that team, joining the ’72 Hamilton Tiger-Cats and ’77 Montreal Alouettes.
Lions tailback Andrew Harris, a Winnipeg native, was named the top Canadian.
