It was a night where the defence earned most of the headlines, but quarterback Michael Reilly was ultimately recognized for his performance in the gritty win at Calgary, earning a CFL Top Performer of the Week nod.
Reilly was 26/33 for 342 yards, with 231 of those coming in the first half, while also scoring the game’s lone touchdown in a 15-9 victory that evened the squad’s record at 1-1.
In the process, Reilly moved past Darian Durant for 14th spot on the CFL’s all-time passing yards list.
