Jeremiah Masoli handed for 357 yards and three touchdowns because the Hamilton Tiger-Cats clawed again over the .500 mark on the season with a 39-23 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
With the win, the Ticats (6-5) moved right into a tie for second place within the CFL’s East Division with Toronto with 12 factors.
It was the sixth straight loss general for the Elks (2-8), who remained winless at house this season, the primary time within the storied historical past of the franchise that they’ve had an 0-6 begin at house.
Edmonton’s playoff hopes at the moment are hanging on by a thread.
After the Elks began the sport with a punt single, Hamilton got here again with a 12-yard landing cross from Masoli to Steven Dunbar Jr. six minutes into the opening quarter.
Hamilton continued to maneuver the ball at will and added a 27-yard passing main with three minutes to play within the first as Tim White had a terrific second effort monitoring down and catching a ball that had initially bounced off his palms.
