Different herd of Elks ready to welcome B.C. Lions to Edmonton on Sunday
EDMONTON — It will be a different, much improved and more confident Edmonton Elks team awaiting the B.C. Lions on Sunday.
Edmonton lost to the Lions 31-14 in Vancouver in Week 1 of the Canadian Football League season. But middle linebacker Nyles Morgan said that, five weeks later, the Elks are a different team.
“We’re night and day, a lot more together, a lot more locked in,” said Morgan. “Been in the system a lot longer and everyone’s a lot more comfortable playing with one another.”
That showed last Sunday when Edmonton beat the Ottawa Redblacks 39-33 for their first win after three losses.
