First runner up was Linebacker Otis Floyd who recorded 4 defensive tackles and intercepted Ricky Ray's 2nd quarter pass intended for the Stamps end zone. The 2nd runner up in this category was the 3rd linebacker George White who also had a very strong game recording 4 defensive tackles, 1 special team tackle, 1 quarterback sack and 1 knock down.
This was not the only weekly honors the Stampeders dominated this week as receiver James Hundon was named Special Team Player of the Week. He recorded 2 punt returns for 12 yards and 2 kick off returns for 149 yards. One of those returns Hundon exploded down field for a 103 yard Stampeder touchdown.
