Hamilton quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, Saskatchewan receiver Naaman Roosevelt and Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly have been named the CFL top performers of the week.
Masoli led the Ticats to a dramatic 25-point comeback win against defending Grey Cup champion Edmonton on Thursday. He broke a CFL record for most consecutive completions, stringing together 23 passes in a row as the Ticats Stunned the Eskimos 37-31 in Edmonton.
He completed 31-of-38 passes (81.6 per cent) for 391 yards and tossed three second-half touchdown passes.
On the other side of the field, Reilly extended his streak of passing for more than 350 yards per game but the Eskimos couldn’t stop Hamilton’s comeback.
Reilly completed 32-of-42 passes (76.2 per cent), for 354 yards and three touchdowns.
Roosevelt set a career high in receiving yards in a single game with 182 and tied his career high for receptions in a game with eight in the Roughriders’ first victory of the season, 30-29 over the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday at Mosaic Stadium.
