SURREY, B.C. — There was a bit of divine intervention at play in the B.C. Lions’ come-from-behind win last weekend, but the team can’t count on that happening every week, says coach Wally Buono.

“The Good Lord blessed us on Saturday. I don’t think he’s going to be doing that every week,” Buono said this week.

Instead, the Lions need focus and consistency to build on the win and rack up more victories going forward, according to some key members of the team.

B.C. (2-2) was down 17-0 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-3) at halftime Saturday, but rallied to win 20-17, thanks in large part to a trio of interceptions and two huge third-and-short stops.

Lions defensive end Odell Willis, who had two sacks in Saturday’s matchup (one on a third-and-short), said the team didn’t make any tactical or lineup changes at halftime.

“We just focused in on what the game plan was and we executed,” said Willis, whose team is preparing for a trip to Ottawa to face the Redblacks on Friday night.
