The B.C. Lions secured their fourth consecutive win with a decisive 30-16 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Quarterback Nathan Rourke led the charge, throwing for two touchdowns and accumulating 355 yards, while the Lions' defense capitalized on turnovers and penalties from the Riders.

The Lions improve to 5-5, tying with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for third place in the CFL West Division.
