Paul McCallum booted a 46-yard field goal with one minute remaining as the league-leading B.C. Lions won their third game in a row, getting past the Edmonton Eskimos 19-18 Saturday night.
Edmonton had taken an 18-16 lead with three minutes left when kicker Grant Shaw nailed a 40-yard field goal after a clutch 47-yard catch by Cary Koch.
But the Lions marched right back into the lead when McCallum was able to boot in a field goal to make it 19-18.
The Eskimos then turned over the ball on downs at their own 42, allowing the Lions to run out the clock.
With the win the Lions padded their lead atop the CFL's West Division, sitting at 9-3. The Eskimos are now at 5-7. (The Canadian Press)
