The B.C. Lions beat the Montreal Alouettes 25–14 at Winnipeg’s Canad Inns Stadium in the 94th CFL Grey Cup final.
Paul McCallum’s record-tying six field goals and a touchdown by Ian Smart were enough to get the job done. Although the Alouettes put up a fight in the second half, their last hopes were dashed when tailback Robert Edwards fumbled on the goal-line and Otis Floyd recovered with 4:26 left in a game the Leos never trailed.
Dave Dickenson was named the Most Valuable Player of the game. Coach Wally Buono Coach Wally Buono used all three quarterbacks in the game -- Dickenson, Buck Pierce and third-stringer Jarious Jackson -- later picked up his third CFL Coach of the Year Award.
It was the home team’s fifth Grey Cup and its first since again beating Montreal in 2000. In the mass on-field celebration after the game ended, the lower base with the engraved names was snapped off from the 94-year-old trophy, which had to later be fixed.
