CFL News:
The BC Lions are looking to snap a four-game losing streak as they visit Ottawa. Nathan Rourke’s return at quarterback last week didn’t go as planned, but he’s had another week of practice to get in sync with his receivers. Ottawa, meanwhile, is one of the hottest teams in the CFL, riding a five-game unbeaten streak. The REDBLACKS haven’t lost to BC in their last eight meetings, with their last victory coming in 2018.
