Video summary

Press to jump

0:15Vincent Blanchard opens Edmonton's scoring with a field goal.
4:26Sean Whyte's third field goal gives B.C. the halftime lead.
6:04Cody Fajardo reaches the end zone on a rushing play.
6:46Nathan Rourke answers with a rushing touchdown for the Lions.
8:22Fajardo delivers a 23-yard touchdown pass.
9:44The final result and Grey Cup berth celebrations arrive.

The kickers handle the scoring before Cody Fajardo gives Edmonton something bigger to celebrate. His rushing touchdown and scoring pass to Austin Mack help send the Elks to the Grey Cup with a 28-16 win over the B.C. Lions.

TSN's Western Final highlights drew about 80,000 views in their first day, more than fourteen times the channel's usual start for regular videos. The comment section was almost ten times as busy as usual, too.

The edit follows a game that takes time to open up. Vincent Blanchard puts Edmonton ahead with field goals, then Sean Whyte answers with three of his own to give B.C. the halftime lead. Later, Nathan Rourke reaches the end zone on foot for the Lions, but Fajardo's touchdown throw to Mack helps put the game beyond them.

TSN's description singles out Fajardo's second-down scrambles: both draw rough-play penalties against B.C., and Edmonton turns both possessions into touchdowns. His legs do more than supply a scoring highlight. They keep the decisive drives alive.

Viewers are already discussing how close the Grey Cup could be, while others revisit a possible holding call near the goal line. One Lions supporter leaves a simpler farewell, thanking the team for an entertaining season. For Edmonton, the closing stadium graphic supplies the milestone: a first Grey Cup appearance since 2015.

What viewers say

I have a good feeling the Grey Cup next weekend will be barnburner with the team that has the ball last winning the game.
