HAMILTON — Sean Whyte's 48-yard field goal on the final play of regulation time earned the B.C. Lions a thrilling 33-30 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.
Whyte's boot came after former Ticat quarterback Dane Evans engineered the final drive for injured starter Vernon Adams Jr. Evans completed all four passes he attempted for 42 yards.
B.C. defensive lineman Mathieu Betts earned his CFL-high 17th sack in the fourth quarter, tying the league's single-season record for most sacks by a Canadian. The mark is held jointly by former Lion Brent Johnson and Winnipeg's Jamaal Westerman. The Lions win gave Montreal second in the East Division and will host third-place Hamilton in the conference semifinal Nov. 4. The Alouettes visit the Edmonton Elks on Saturday.
Tim White, with two, and Terry Godwin II had Hamilton's touchdowns. Liegghio added the converts and three field goals.
