Big break for BC after the procedure call on 2nd & 1, Juwan Simpson takes an UR call to give us the 1D.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Rainey draws the PI call in goal but Huf challenges before BC get off the 1st & gl @Cgy1 snap.

Smith got his right hand inside and on Rainey's left so the PI call should stand.

Or not.

Not a good spot on the 2nd down Harris run after the PI flag was nullified.

Leone makes the chipshot from 16yds out to make it 3-1 BC.

I don't get why they wouldn't go for that 3rd and 1 way down there. Baffling.

Cgy only dressed one backup OL so if their centre Lavertu injured on their last series can't return it could be a factor.

Pick six after the receiver juggles the catch. 7-3 Cgy with the convert to come. Huge momentum shift after we held their O essentially scoreless for the whole quarter with the wind.

2PCA fails and it remains 7-3 Cgy.

And now a flag on the KR to back us up deep after giving up the defensive score.
