Post-season[edit]

The Lions clinched their 18th straight playoff berth with a week 18 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[5] Their final position in the standings, however, wasn't decided until the final game of the regular season when the Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched third place with a win over the Edmonton Eskimos, keeping the Lions in fourth place. Qualifying with the crossover rule, the Lions played in the CFL East Division playoffs for the fourth time in franchise history and the most of any western club in CFL history.
