It was the exclamation mark on what’s been a potentially historic season for BC Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke.

With the Lions looking to clinch a home playoff berth at home versus the Edmonton Elks, Rourke took over the game in the third quarter.

The Victoria, BC native sealed the victory for the Lions late in the third quarter, with one of the longest rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in CFL history.

Although the Lions endured some uneven performances in the early part of the season, they’re red hot now, having rattled off five straight wins. That includes their 37-24 victory over the Elks, which eliminated Edmonton from the playoffs.

With the regular season winding to a close, Rourke has rocketed up to the top of contention for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award.
