(Edmonton) - The Canadian Football League has named Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly and slotback Adarius Bowman as Players of the Week for their performances in Saturday's 27-16 victory over the Calgary Stampeders.

In his first start since returning from a Week 1 knee injury, Reilly completed 22-of-40 passes for 352 yards and no interceptions in heavy rain. He threw three touchdown passes, including connecting with Bowman twice in the end zone in the first and fourth quarters and a 47-yard TD pass to Kenny Stafford early in the second half. Reilly also rushed three times for eight yards.

In his third 100+ yard game of the season, Bowman hauled in six receptions for 104 yards and two touchdowns, including a 50-yard TD pass from Reilly in the fourth quarter. The native of Chattanooga, Tennessee is first on the team and second in the league in receiving yards with 716 and in receptions with 52.

This is the first Player of the Week award this season for Reilly and Bowman.

CFL Players of the Week are chosen by a panel of judges who independently send their selections to the CFL head office. The panel includes former CFL players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde of TSN and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
