Mike Reilly leads way as Eskimos beat Lions 37-26 to remain undefeated
EDMONTON — No running back, no kicker, no problem for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Mike Reilly ran in a pair of touchdowns and passed for two more as the Eskimos took sole possession of first place in the CFL with a 37-26 victory over the B.C. Lions on Friday, despite losing starting running back Travon Van and kicker Sean Whyte during the game.
The Eskimos remained the only undefeated team in the league, upping their record to 5-0.
“I’ve been a part of football for 30 years and this is the grittiest win I have ever seen,” said Eskimos head coach Jason Maas.
