Sure, it was just the one play.

But what a play.

With the Stamps trailing by seven points in the fourth quarter, the speedster took a short dump pass from Bo Levi Mitchell on a second-and-20.

Finch, who took a punt back 85 yards for his first CFL touchdown on Labour Day, turned it upfield and got about 20 yards and six inches.

“It’s Week 12 now so it feels good (to contribute),” Finch said. “It’s a testament to being patient and continuing to work hard.

“I knew my chances of getting into the offence would happen later in the year. So I’m excited that I’m playing ball and factoring into the offence now.

“Just to make a play when my team needed me and my coach trusted in me, it was amazing. I’m looking forward to making a lot more plays like that in the future.”

The Stamps tied the game on the next play when Mitchell hit DaVaris Daniels for the second of his two touchdowns en route to a 34-28 overtime victory over the Eskimos.
