Vernon Adams Jr. looks to add to his league-leading passing yards total as his BC Lions look to catch the Saskatchewan Roughriders for top spot in the West Division on Saturday.
Jul 12, 2024 at 06:17 PM ETSURREY, B.C. — Vernon Adams Jr. is on track to make CFL history.“The biggest thing is winning. Just win, baby. That’s it," he said Friday."As long as we win, I’m OK with throwing less. Whatever it takes, that’s what I need to do to win a game.”
The 31-year-old American will have a chance to add to the tally Saturday when the Lions host the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders in a battle for top spot in the CFL's West Division.“Every match is a dog fight. And we just need to come out, play our brand of football, execute at a high level, score in the redzone like we did last week. And I think that should really help us out.”The numbers are the result of a lot of hard work by B.C.'s staff and players behind the scenes, Adams said.
That attitude is part of why Lions head coach and co-general manager Rick Campbell wanted to add the veteran quarterback to B.C.'s roster back in 2021. "It was not an easy thing for him to come in on literally on a moment's notice and have to have a crash course on learning our playbook and learning our players and doing all that stuff and coming in and winning important games for us," the coach said.
