TORONTO – Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris was named the Grey Cup’s most valuable player after leading Ottawa to a 39-33 overtime win against the Calgary Stampeders.

Burris’s status was in doubt before kickoff when his left knee locked up during pre-game warmups.

Still, he was on the field for the Redblacks’ first offensive snap and finished with two rushing touchdowns and three passing TD, including the overtime winner.

More coming.
