Lions score 20-17 comeback victory over Bombers in Lulay’s first start of season
VANCOUVER — Travis Lulay’s first start in nearly 10 months didn’t get off to an encouraging start.
The veteran quarterback and his B.C. Lions waited until the third quarter to trigger the offence, scoring 20 unanswered points in the second half for a 20-17 come-from behind victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday.
Winnipeg was up 17-0 at the break and looked to have the win within reach, but timely turnovers by the Bombers and a strong drive from the returning Lulay late in the game set up Ty Long’s 16-yard field goal as time expired.
“We just hunkered down,” said Lulay. “It’s gut check time and we found a way to make enough plays to win.”
