VANCOUVER — Mike Reilly added another page to his resume of comeback victories.
The Eskimos quarterback connected with Cory Watson from five yards out in overtime for his second touchdown toss of the night as Edmonton erased a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the B.C. Lions 35-29 on Saturday.
“This one, I won’t soon forget,” said Reilly, who finished 31-of-41 passing for 397 yards, and also ran in two more scores. “I’ve still got to take it all in.
“I still haven’t been able to process it.”
