Yard Mark: Jennings and Saskatchewan Roughriders

yard mark: Jonathon Jennings threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Emmanuel Arceneaux, as the Lions defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 41-18 for a third straight victory that locked up their first home playoff game since the 2011 Grey Cup, according to CBC. Jennings eclipsed the 5,000-yard mark for the season, and Arceneaux hauled in 10 catches for 180 yards to give him 105 receptions on the year for B.C. , which will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers next Sunday in the West Division semifinal. "It huge for the organization," said Jennings, who was 17-of-25 passing with an interception. "This is getting us on track to do the things we want to do." Jennings connected with Terrell Sinkfield on his other TD completion, while Paul McCallum was perfect on four field goals and two converts for B.C. after coming out of retirement on Tuesday at age 46. They hope to take a couple more over the next few weeks. Travis Lulay added a touchdown toss to Bryan Burnham in mop-up duty. Meaningful game for Lions Winnipeg , which owned the tiebreaker over B.C. after winning both games between the clubs, put pressure on the Lions to either beat or tie Saskatchewan on Saturday to secure home field after the Blue Bombers posted a 33-20 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks in the nation capital on Friday. "The biggest thing we talked about all week was just taking care of ourselves," said Jennings, in his second CFL season. "We never lost focus." A victory by the lowly Roughriders , who lost three straight to close out the season, would have meant B.C. getting on a plane to play at Winnipeg next weekend. "It always good to be able practise winning when you have to," said Lions head coach and general manager Wally Buono. "I've always believed that." Lions pivot reaches milestone Jennings entered play needing just 81 yards passing to join Doug Flutie, Dave Dickenson and Casey Printers as the only quarterbacks in Lions' history to reach 5,000 in a season, and the second-year pivot got that out of the way in an opening quarter that saw him connect with Arceneaux on two scores. "It something cool to say you did," Jennings said of the milestone. "I'm fortunate and blessed to be healthy all season and have a great team." Quarterback by committee Saskatchewan elected to sit starting quarterback Darian Durant because of some bumps and bruises, while Jake Waters, who split time under centre last week, missed out with a broken collarbone. Brandon Bridge and Greg Morris ran in TDs for Saskatchewan, while Tyler Crapigna kicked a field goal, a single and two converts. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
