TORONTO — Ottawa quarterback Henry Burris, Winnipeg defensive back Taylor Loffler and Saskatchewan running back Joe McKnight are the CFL’s top performers for Week 17.
Burris excelled in his first start since Week 9, leading the Redblacks to a 30-29 win in Hamilton on Friday.
The 41-year-old connected on 27-of-39 passes for 393 yards and one touchdown pass, while also running in two TDs, as the Redblacks moved three points ahead of Hamilton in the race for first place in the CFL East Division.
Loffler had three takeaways in the Blue Bombers’ 35-32 victory over the Lions at BC Place on Friday night. The rookie from Kelowna, B.C., had two interceptions and a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in his first game in his home province.
