HAMILTON - Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly threw three touchdown passes as the Eskimos erased a 12-point deficit to remain undefeated with a 31-28 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night.

Reilly hit Vidal Hazelton for a 15-yard TD pass with 23 seconds left in the game to go ahead for good. Hazelton had also made a 30-yard catch earlier in the drive.

Hamilton had one final chance to march back down the field but Kenneth Ladler intercepted a Zach Collaros pass to seal the victory.

Edmonton (4-0) is first in the West Division and the only remaining undefeated team in the CFL.

Hamilton (0-4) is last in the East Division and the only remaining winless team. The last time Hamilton started the season 0-4 it was 2007 and Jason Maas was the Ticats' quarterback.

Bryant Mitchell, Travon Van, and Cory Watson also scored touchdowns for Edmonton. Luke Tasker and Geoff Hughes scored for Hamilton.
