OTTAWA - Henry Burris threw three touchdowns as the Ottawa Redblacks beat the B.C. Lions 27-16 on Saturday.

It's the first time the Redblacks (2-0) have won back-to-back games.

Burris led the charge is a strong second half, including a 10-yard TD pass to Ernest Jackson and a 30-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ellingson. Delbert Alvarado connected on a 28-yard field goal as Ottawa outscored the Lions 17-9 in the final two quarters.

Burris finished the game completing 23-of-29 pass attempts for 290 yards and one interception.

Lions quarterback Travis Lulay was playing his first regular season game since injuring his shoulder in Ottawa last September. He was 18-of-32 on his pass attempts for 246 yards, one touchdown and an interception.

Lulay threw a 26-yard touchdown to Austin Collie to temporarily give B.C., the lead in the second half.

Notes: CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge told media before the game the league is concerned with the number of injuries to quarterbacks, but said certain injuries are just unfortunate.
