VANCOUVER -- B.C. Lions placekicker Paul McCallum has set a CFL record.
McCallum kicked his 29th consecutive field goal of the season at 13:34 of the third quarter Saturday night in the Lions' game against the Calgary Stampeders.
The 46-yard field goals breaks the record of 28 set by Dave Ridgway of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1993. The kick drew a standing ovation from the crowd at B.C. Place Stadium.
McCallum tied the record in the second quarter with a 47-yard field goal.
He added a 30th straight field goal in the fourth quarter.
The 41-year-old McCallum already holds the CFL record for the longest field goal. He made a 62-yard kick against the Edmonton Eskimos on Oct. 27, 2001, when he played for Saskatchewan.
