For the second season in a row, the Western semifinal runs through BC Place as the Lions host Jake Maier and the Calgary Stampeders in the nightcap of a Saturday doubleheader on TSN.
While it will be the second kick at the can for Maier, it’s the first for Lions quarterback Vernon Adams, as he acquired in a 2022 mid-season deal with the Montreal Alouettes following an injury to then-Lions starter Nathan Rourke.
After six seasons with the Alouettes and splitting time with Trevor Harris, the former Oregon Duck has had a renaissance in Vancouver this season. With a career-high 4,769 passing yards, Adams leads the Canadian Football League and was behind only Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros for the most touchdowns with 31 on the season.
Adams, who had been wearing a knee brace since the injury, said he’ll play without it come kickoff. He also said they are looking forward to a second shot at the Stampeders after losing to them 41-16 in Week 20.
