HAMILTON – Henry Burris threw for three touchdowns as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats scored 51 unanswered points on Saturday in a 51-8 win over the Edmonton Eskimos at Ivor Wynne Stadium.

The win broke a five-game losing streak by Hamilton, which improved to 4-7. Edmonton lost its third game in a row and fell to 5-6.

Jerome Messam scored the Eskimos lone touchdown while Bakari Grant, Dave Stala, Andy Fantuz, Chris Williams, Avon Cobourne and Dee Webb each scored for the Tiger-Cats.

Hamilton’s Luca Congi kicked all three field-goal attempts in the second quarter, from 10, 22 and 45 yards. Edmonton kicker Grant Shaw missed his lone attempt from 48 yards and back-up Brody McKnight, acquired this week, was blocked on his 48-yard attempt.
