TORONTO — Led by Canadian quarterback Nathan Rourke, the B.C. Lions swept top performer honours for Week 1 of the 2022 CFL season.
Running back James Butler and defensive back T.J. Lee were also honoured for their contributions to the Lions’ season-opening 59-15 rout of visiting Edmonton on Saturday.
Rourke was 26-of-29 passing (89.7 per cent) for 282 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in his first game as the Lions’ full-time starter.
The Victoria native was just as dangerous on the ground, rushing for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
