the lions entered the 1994 campaign with a new quarterback, kent austin, at the helm. off-season trades with ottawa provided offensive guard denny chronopoulos, defensive lineman andrew stewart, and rush linebacker angelo snipes. a group of young, unknown, and aggressive linebackers emerged at training camp, henry newby, tyrone chatman, and virgil robertson, while the secondary was strengthened with the additions of charles gordon and enis jackson. the lions opened the season at b.c. place and gave the fans a taste of things to come with a hard-fought 24–20 victory over winnipeg. the lions offensive power was amply demonstrated the following week with a 57–18 thumping of the ottawa rough riders. by the end of august, 1994, the lions were 7–1–0, and had broken several single-game offensive records, including a 67–15 point record win over shreveport. the leos' secondary was further bolstered by the signing of former nfl stars james jefferson (who was also a one-time cfl star) and barry wilburn. the team endured a dry spell at the season's midpoint, losing close games to winnipeg, edmonton, saskatchewan, and baltimore. a late season win over las vegas (45–7) and a close 24–23 loss to calgary, gave the lions new hope heading into the playoffs, as well as an 11–6–1 regular season finish. the team travelled to edmonton for the western division semi-finals, where the lions had only managed one playoff victory at commonwealth stadium. with just over four minutes left in the game, defensive back charles gordon's miraculous end-zone interception stopped the eskimos in their tracks and gave new life to the lions. quarterback kent austin, replacing an injured danny mcmanus who had started the game, mounted a lions' drive which ate up the clock and the field. lui passaglia kicked the winning field goal with 30 seconds left to give the lions a tough 24–23 come-from-behind victory. the following week, in one of the most memorable cfl games ever, the lions and the doug flutie led stampeders traded touchdowns and field goals all night at mcmahon stadium. in the swirling snow with two minutes left in the game, calgary, who led by 5 points, set up to kick a field goal. lions' wide receiver ray alexander leapt up and made an amazing block, giving the lions renewed hope and decent field position. danny mcmanus, who had replaced kent austin in the second half after austin re-injured a separated shoulder, staged a furious last-minute drive, hitting receivers all the way down the field to the stampeder's four-yard line. with calgary leading 36–31, with four seconds left in the game, mcmanus found receiver darren flutie alone in the end zone to give the lions their first playoff victory over calgary in 30 years, and a berth in the grey cup against baltimore at b.c. place. the dramatics continued the following week in the 82nd grey cup. with 55,097 cheering fans looking on, the lions and stallions staged another thriller with both teams playing great football. baltimore took a 17–10 lead at halftime, and extended their lead to 20–10 early in the third quarter. lions' quarterback danny mcmanus entered the game and staged a second-half rally. seemingly stalled at the baltimore 30 yard line, lui passaglia and darren flutie staged a fake field goal to gain a big first down, which changed the momentum of the game. mcmanus ran in from the two-yard line to tie the score at 20–20. after the teams traded field goals to make the score 23–23, mcmanus engineered another late-game drive to the baltimore 37 yard line. passaglia missed the field goal with just over one minute remaining, but the lions' defence rose up to deny baltimore and stop them cold within their own five-yard line. after a punt and a couple of runs to set up another field goal try, passaglia converted a field goal with no time remaining on the clock to give the lions an incredible 26–23 victory, the third grey cup championship in the team's history. passaglia went on to win a well-deserved grey cup most valuable canadian award for his heroics.
