Blanchard’s Boots Seal Elks’ Win | Canada News

Edmonton Elks roar back to life with a gritty 19-17 win over the B.C. Lions, thanks to Vincent Blanchard’s four clutch field goals and a late-game defensive stand that sealed the victory. The Lions’ QB Nathan Rourke exited early with a shoulder injury, and backup Chase Brice couldn’t carry the load, throwing an interception that set up Blanchard’s first kick. The game stayed close, with B.C. cutting the lead to two points late, but Edmonton’s defense locked down on fourth down with under a minute left, running out the clock. The win puts Edmonton back atop the West Division, while B.C. remains winless since their only victory came against Edmonton earlier this season. Elks head to Saskatchewan next, Lions host Toronto.
