The Ottawa Redblacks secured a hard-fought 34-27 victory over the BC Lions, extending their unbeaten streak to six games. Quarterback Dru Brown excelled with 390 passing yards and three touchdowns, while rookie Nick Mardner contributed significantly with 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns. However, the win was overshadowed by an injury to teammate Jaelon Acklin, who was taken off the field by ambulance following a collision but was later reported to be moving his extremities. The Lions, now on a five-game losing streak, struggled despite Nathan Rourke's improved performance with 234 passing yards. The game saw both teams experience turnovers, but Ottawa's ability to capitalize on red zone opportunities proved decisive. Coach Bob Dyce praised his team's mental strength amidst the challenging circumstances.
