Mike Reilly throws three TDs, Eskimos beat Tiger-Cats 31-28
HAMILTON — Nail-biters are nothing new for the Edmonton Eskimos this season, so quarterback Mike Reilly had no doubt his offence could score a game-winning touchdown with 70 seconds left on the clock.
“We know one-minute-plus in the CFL is forever, really,” said Reilly, who threw three touchdown passes in a 31-28 come-from-behind win against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in CFL action Thursday night.
“And that’s the great part of this season so far. That’s not our first time being in a similar scenario to that. I’ve got confidence in our guys and I think they’ve got confidence in themselves because of having to do it already.”
The team has won all four of its games this season by a combined 12 points.
