Keon Hatcher, James Butler and Antonio Pipkin all recorded touchdowns as the B.C. Lions secured a home playoff date with a 31-14 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
The Lions, now 12-5, will finish second in the CFL's West Division, earning the right to host their first playoff game since 2016 and just their second since 2012.
The horrific home disadvantage streak of losses for the Elks (4-14) will carry into the off-season. Edmonton has now lost a CFL record 17 consecutive games at home going back to 2019.
The Elks couldn't have asked for a better start to the game as Mike Dubuisson recovered a Lions' fumble on the opening kickoff.
