B.C. Lions Backup QB Steps In | Calgary News

The B.C. Lions are turning to backup QB Chase Brice to lead them against the struggling Toronto Argonauts after star Nathan Rourke went down with a shoulder injury. Brice, who threw for over 200 yards and a TD last week despite four interceptions, gets his first full week as starter — a big boost after usually coming in late. Coach Buck Pierce is confident, praising Brice’s poise and the team’s tempo. Meanwhile, Toronto’s in turmoil: kicker Lirim Hajrullahu is benched, rookie Brady Lidster takes over, and QB Chad Kelly’s big stats come with risky turnovers. The Argos also added defensive firepower and a rookie receiver making his debut. With both teams on losing streaks and the Lions returning to B.C. Place for the first time this season, this could be the game that turns the tide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
