CFL Toronto 41 at B.C. 52 (1991) - 2nd overtime

Often overlooked in lists of the greatest CFL games of all time is this 1991 classic between the Toronto Argonauts and the B.C. Lions. It had just about everything you could want. The Argos jumped out to a huge lead with four early touchdowns, only to fall behind 38-31 before tying the game in the final minute of the fourth quarter. In OT, the Lions scored on a kickoff return by Ray Etheridge and a third-down rushing TD by rookie of the year Jon Volpe. The guy Volpe beat out for that honour, Toronto's Raghib (Rocket) Ismail, scored his first CFL touchdown on a 12-yard sweep, had a couple of big kick returns but fumbled late in the game. Mike (Pinball) Clemons scored one of his eight career punt return touchdowns for Toronto, Doug Flutie had some huge plays for the Lions. Darrell K. Smith scored three Toronto TDs. This segment shows top plays from the second overtime, including a Jon Volpe touchdown and Murray Pezim doffing his shirt in celebration (!).

[TTOMO]

I went to a Lions/Argos game at BC Place in August 1994 and the final score in that one was 54-39 Lions. Same number of points as this game, amazingly. On the same night, Ottawa and Winnipeg combined for 100 points, with the score being 59-41 for the Bombers (I heard that score on CKNW on the way to the Lions game.). That always stuck out in my mind that there was a 100 point game and then a 93 point game on the same night. I would guess it was the highest scoring evening in CFL history.
