B.C. Lions vs. Edmonton Eskimos live stream: Watch CFL online
By Adam Stocker
The Edmonton Eskimos host the B.C. Lions at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday, July 28. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The two best teams in the West meet in week five of the CFL season. In the opening week of the season, the Edmonton Eskimos went into B.C. Place and defeated the Lions 30-27. Since the loss, the Lions have won four straight games, while Edmonton is undefeated to start the season.
Both the Lions and Eskimos pulled off dramatic wins in week five. B.C. hung onto to a 45-42 win over Winnipeg at home. Edmonton trailed Hamilton for over 55 minutes before quarterback Mike Reilly lead his team on a 70-yard drive with 75 seconds remaining.
The Eskimos and Lions will look significantly different on offense compared to the last time the teams played. Edmonton lost starting running back John White for the season with a knee injury. In Edmonton’s win, White ran for 104 yards and a touchdown. The Lions will be without starting quarterback Jonathan Jennings for the second straight game. Jennings injured his shoulder against Hamilton but backup Travis Lulay has been fantastic in relief.
Offensively, both teams have relied on their top playmakers who will continue to be the focal point of their offense in the week six rematch. Running back Jeremiah Johnson has 469 from scrimmage and six touchdowns for the Lions. Eskimos receiver Brandon Zylstra has 29 catches and 409 yards in four games.
