Lions pounce on Alouettes’ miscues in 35-19 victory
VANCOUVER — Shaun Shivers scored a touchdown in his debut as the B.C. Lions rebounded from their first loss of the season to blitz the Montreal Alouettes 35-19 on Sunday.
Playing in front of a home crowd at B.C. Place, Vernon Adams Jr. went 20-for-25 with one touchdown.
The Lions (4-1) also benefited from special team mishaps from the Alouettes, including a blocked field goal attempt that was returned by cornerback Jalon Edwards-Coopers.
Cody Fajardo went 24-for-38 for the Alouettes (2-2) but was sacked six times by an aggressive Lions defence.
