Jennings throws 4 TDs as Lions snap losing skid with win over Blue Bombers
WINNIPEG — Chris Rainey says he’s always had to prove himself.
The running back did just that Saturday afternoon when he caught a pair of touchdown passes and rushed 16 times for 106 yards as the B.C. Lions ended a five-game losing streak with a 36-27 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Florida native, five-foot-eight, 180 pounds, got the start instead of Jeremiah Johnson, who was on the bench resting. The Lions (7-10) were already eliminated from the playoff contention.
“I’ve been dying to be a starter forever, but just like I said, I’m too small for everything so I’ve always got to prove everybody wrong,” said Rainey, who’s in his third season with the Lions after beginning his CFL career with Montreal in 2014.
