THE MOJ: Stunned Lions try to shake off a ‘tough night for the good guys’ - Terrace Standard

B.C. Lions head coach Rick Campbell described it as a ‘bad day at the office’ and it pretty much summed up the Lions 45-24 loss to the Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field on Monday night.

The biggest story of the night was Lions quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., who threw for three touchdowns and 388 yards. The story, however, was that Adams Jr. also threw for a career-high six interceptions with the ensuing carnage resulting in the Argos scoring 31 points off those turnovers, including an interception return for touchdown.

Down 35-24, the Lions took possession on their own eight-yard line with 7:59 remaining. Adams hit Keon Hatcher down the middle for a 20-yard gain to the Lions 28. Adams then found Jevon Cottoy for a 16-yard strike to give B.C. a first-and-ten on their own 44 with a little momentum starting to develop.

The one question many had was why did Campbell stick with Adams Jr. despite the quarterback’s troubles with a capable back-up in Dane Evans available?
