Sean Whyte set a new club record with eight field goals as the B.C. Lions defeated the Toronto Argonauts 24-17 in a CFL game on October 3, 2026. The victory secured second place for the Lions in the West Division and ended Toronto’s four-game winning streak. Despite strong performances by both quarterbacks—B.C.’s Nathan Rourke and Toronto’s Nick Arbuckle—the game was decided by Whyte’s field goals, with the closest score being a two-point difference late in the contest.

Story summary
On Saturday afternoon, Sean Whyte of the B.C. Lions set a new club record by kicking eight field goals to secure a 24-17 victory over the Toronto Argonauts in Toronto. This win marked B.C.’s third consecutive victory and solidified their second place in the West Division with a record of 9-6. The Lions’ defense played crucially, intercepting Nick Arbuckle at the one-yard line twice during the final moments to prevent an Argos comeback. Edmonton’s Vincent Blanchard holds the overall CFL record for most field goals in a game with nine, set on September 26. Despite losing, Toronto (9-7) had already secured a home playoff spot and was on a four-game winning streak prior to this match. The Montreal Alouettes could clinch first place in the East Division if they defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers later that day.
