It's always a special moment when rivals face off, but it was even sweeter for BC fans as the Lions stamped their authority on the match against a top team.

With this victory, the BC Lions have officially sent a message to the entire league: they’re back in business. Coach Rick Campbell expressed pride in his players' grit and determination, stating that resilience is a trait they pride themselves on.

And just to add some spice to the story, did you know that since this win, the Lions have a perfect record against the Alouettes in their last five encounters? Talk about a turn of tides!
