Winner (#): Jackie Mitchell #24

Highlights / Key Stats:
Jackie Mitchell had seven individual tackles and one interception, which he returned 25 yards for a touchdown.
Comments and Game Notes:
Mitchell darted in front of a pass intended for Geroy Simon and ran the ball 25 yards for a touchdown. This was definitely a momentum changer, since B.C. had two long marches on their last two possessions, one of which resulted in a touchdown.
Mitchell is always at his best in big games. This season Mitchell has recorded 35 defensive tackles and two interceptions.

Lineman of the Week
Game #70 - Teams: SSK (28) @ B.C. (19)
Winner (#): Fred Perry #41
Position: Defensive Line
Team: Saskatchewan Roughriders
Highlights / Key Stats:
Perry had four individual tackles, two quarterback sacks and a blocked field goal.
Comments and Game Notes:
Perry and his teammates on the defensive line of the Saskatchewan Roughriders were relentless in pressuring the Lion's quarterbacks. Perry had two sacks and forced the quarterbacks to hurry their passes or leave the pocket on three occasions.
Perry's biggest play came on a last minute BC field goal attempt to tie the game. Perry managed to get passed the line and block the kick. Teammate LaDouphyous McCalla picked up the ball and ran it back for the touchdown.
Perry played an inspired game!
Perry's nine quarterback sacks leads the CFL (tied with BC's Brent Johnson). He also has 25 defensive tackles.

Special Teams Player of the Week
Game #68 - Teams: EDM (14) @ HAM (40)
Winner (#): Kahlil Hill #87
Position: Receiver
Team: Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Highlights / Key Stats:
Kahlil Hill returned three punts for 121 yards; his longest resulted in an 80 yard touchdown.
Comments and Game Notes:
Hamilton has struggled at returning punts this season. The Ticats received a huge lift when they recently signed Kahlil Hill.
Hill is blessed with great speed, quick moves and the ability to find the lane, as evident with his 80-yard touchdown return.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats have found that special "team" player.
