Tiger-Cats 42, Eskimos 12: Dane Evans threw for 277 yards and a pair of touchdowns as host Hamilton routed Edmonton to equal a franchise record with its 12th win of the season.

Evans completed 24-of-32 passes while Brandon Banks made eight catches for 81 yards and a touchdown for the Tiger-Cats (12-3), who can clinch their first East Division title since 2014 with a loss by Montreal on Saturday. Tyrell Sutton gained 88 yards on 11 carries while Jaelon Acklin caught a scoring pass for Hamilton, which improved to 7-0 at home this season.

Logan Kilgore was 23-of-32 for 233 yards and a touchdown but threw three interceptions for the Eskimos (7-8), who missed an opportunity to lock up a playoff spot. C.J. Gable racked up 97 yards from scrimmage before suffering a knee injury in the third quarter and Natey Adjei had a TD reception for Edmonton, which fell to 3-5 on the road.

Evans fired a 5-yard touchdown pass to Banks and found Marcus Tucker for the ensuing 2-point conversion to put Hamilton on top 8-0 before Sean Whyte kicked a 9-yard field goal to cut Edmonton's deficit to five points after one quarter. Lirim Hajrullahu converted a 31-yard attempt and Evans threw a 14-yard scoring strike to Acklin before hitting Bralon Addison for the 2-point conversion to help the Tiger-Cats build a 19-3 halftime lead.

Hajrullahu kicked a pair of field goals, including a 33-yarder on the last play of the third quarter, to stretch Hamilton's advantage to 25-6 before Adjei caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Kilgore early in the fourth to pull Edmonton within 13. Backup quarterback David Watford scored on a 2-yard run to restore the Tiger-Cats' 19-point cushion and Richard Leonard returned an interception 19 yards for a TD to put an exclamation point on the convincing victory.
