Tre Ford threw two touchdown passes as the Edmonton Elk defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24-10 for their first win of the season.
It’s the first Elks triumph since September 16 of last year with 13 straight losses. A big reason the streak came to an end was the play of quarterback Tre Ford, who threw for 174 yards on 13-of-18 with two majors. The quarterback also added 60 yards on five carries on the ground.
Veteran wide receiver Eugene Lewis returned from an early-season injury and finished with two catches for 14 yards.
With the victory, the green & gold snap a club record-tying 13-game winless streak, with Hamilton suffering its first loss in seven games coming off a bye week.
The Elks close out Week 12 with a matchup against the Ottawa REDBLACKS on August 27th at Commonwealth Stadium.
