🎥 Arrow Up The Wrap 2023 | August

JANUARY 15, 2024

August went down as a month of ups and downs for the BC Lions, kicking off with a significant loss in a Week 9 rematch against a hungry Winnipeg squad. The quarterback situation took an unfortunate turn as Dane Evans went down with an injury, quickly turning the game into a "nightmare situation." The good news: back home against Calgary, Vernon Adams Jr. made his return as the team aimed to get back in the win column. The game included Wall of Fame introductions, featuring CFL legend Wally Buono and the Waterboys. It all sets the stage for the standout offensive performances of Keon Hatcher and Taquan Mizzell, both of whom play a crucial role in securing a big win. Moving to Week 11, the Lions face the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium, entering as big favourites against the Jake Dolegala-led Riders. Despite a slow start, and a very physical opponent, the Lions mount a massive comeback bid but fall short, resulting in a tough loss. Week 12 marks former Lions running back James Butler's return to BC Place in a game where the Lions are clear favourites. However, a surprise result leads to a loss, marking the second consecutive defeat for the Lions. The comeback attempts are thwarted, resulting in a frustrating two-game slump for the team.
