Ty Long kicks winning field goal, Lions come back to beat Ticats in OT
VANCOUVER — Ty Long was eager for a special moment, and he got one.
Long’s 39-yard field goal in overtime gave the B.C. Lions a 35-32 comeback victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday night.
“I was really excited for that last kick,” said Long in a jubilant Lions dressing room. “I wanted it to come down to me.”
The winning score came after B.C. and Hamilton exchanged field goals in overtime and Hamilton kicker Lirim Hajrullahu missed another three-point attempt in the extra session. B.C. rallied to tie the game in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter.
