B.C. Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke has a chance to become just the second Canadian quarterback to lead the CFL in passing. Russ Jackson of the Ottawa Rough Riders led the league with 3,641 yards in 1969.

The B.C. Lions have an opportunity to clinch second place in the CFL’s West Division, and they’d prefer to do it without help.

Currently tied with the Calgary Stampeders for second place at 10-7, the Lions can clinch home field for the West semifinal on Nov. 1 by beating the first-place Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday in Regina.

B.C. could also grab second spot if the Stampeders, playing in Edmonton on Friday night, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, hosting the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday afternoon, both lose their games.
