A pair of pick sixes helped the B.C. Lions creep closer to a home playoff spot with a 40-32 win over the league-leading Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Vancouver on Saturday.
Halfbacks T.J. Lee and Marcus Sayles each collected interceptions and made massive runs for touchdowns in a victory that gave B.C. (11-5) sole possession of second place in the CFL's West Division.
It was a mixed night for Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who threw for 138 yards and completed 13-of-22 attempts with one touchdown.
He added 18 rushing yards and was sacked three times. There were several new faces in Winnipeg's lineup as head coach Mike O'Shea opted to rest a number of his usual starters, including quarterback Zach Collaros.
