CFL Grey Cup 2015: Score, Recap and More from Redblacks vs. Eskimos

A one-yard run by backup quarterback Jordan Lynch with three minutes, 17 seconds left in the game won the 103rd Grey Cup for the Edmonton Eskimos over the Ottawa Redblacks, 26-20, on Sunday night. 

It was the 14th Grey Cup victory for the Eskimos, who have been competing for the trophy since 1949.

Barstool Sports' Dan Katz shared a replay of the winning touchdown, which was Lynch's only snap of the game:

In order to get the Grey Cup, the Eskimos had to go through the league's most outstanding player, Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, who had just 220 yards and two touchdowns. 

Edmonton's Mike Reilly outplayed his counterpart, throwing for 269 yards and a pair of scores while adding 66 yards on the ground.

All season, Ottawa was able to move the ball through the air. For the first time in team history, it saw four receivers go over 1,000 yards, while Burris led the CFL with 5,703 passing yards.

On Sunday night, Burris hit five different receivers during the Redblacks' first drive, eating up 70 yards in 2:40, which Patrick Lavoie capped off with a three-yard touchdown reception. 

Ottawa got the ball right back after recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff at the Edmonton 40-yard line. The Redblacks marched down the field, and Burris hit Earnest Jackson to make it 13-0. 

New York Islanders defenseman Calvin de Haan loved what he was seeing:

Edmonton's offense finally got the ball down by two scores against the league's best defense.

After a field goal drew the Eskimos within 10 and the defense picked Burris off, Reilly hit Adarius Bowman for a 23-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone to help make it a 13-10 game.

The CFL shared the replay of Bowman's score:

Sun Media's Paul Friesen thought the slow start kicked the team into gear:

The scoring screeched to a halt in the second quarter as a Redblacks field goal and an Eskimos single put the game at 16-11 in the final minutes. But a touchdown pass to Akeem Shavers with 12 seconds left gave the Eskimos a one-point lead heading into halftime.

Ottawa took a 19-17 lead with a field goal with seven minutes left in the third quarter, and Edmonton cut it to one with a punt single. A punt single from Ottawa made it 20-18 with nine minutes to go in the game. 

After the teams traded punts, two pass-interference calls helped Edmonton drive deep into Redblacks territory before Lynch scored from less than a yard out with 3:17 left. A successful two-point conversion put the Eskimos up by six.

Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch enjoyed the game's finale:

Ottawa punted with less than three minutes to go, giving Edmonton a chance to kill the game on the ground.

It did exactly that, gaining a first down with 23 seconds left to run the clock out and win its first Grey Cup in a decade.
