Adams Jr., Rhymes in sync in B.C. Lions’ 25-15 win over Calgary Stampeders
Vernon Adams Jr. and Dominique Rhymes clicked early for the B.C. Lions in a 25-15 win over the Calgary Stampeders to open the CFL season Thursday.He picked up where he left off in 2022 when his 1,401 yards ranked second among CFL receivers behind Winnipeg’s Dalton Schoen and earned Rhymes a league all-star designation.Adams threw for 176 yards in a pair of touchdown drives — one on B.C.’s first possession of the game and the other in the first minute of the second quarter.
“Starting fast was big,” Lions head coach Rick Campbell said. “It’s a 60-minute game, but playing Calgary here is tough. Adams completed 27 of 35 passes for 270 yards and two touchdown throws in the game. He was intercepted by Mike Rose. The 26-year-old was under pressure several times and sacked late in the second quarter by Mathieu Betts.
“It’s early. I’m not going to beat them up. I understand what it is. Look in the mirror. We’ve got to be better. Coaches as well.” “We have a lot of veteran guys, so that’s just a testament of what type of team we have and that’s what we put on the field today.”
