The Canadian Football League handed out its week 10 Honour Roll powered by Pro Football Focus (PFF) with running back James Butler and defensive back Cristophe Beaulieu earning recognition for their performances in the big overtime win at Hamilton.
Butler (87.2 PFF Grade)- the bruising back recorded 140 scrimmage yards- his second-highest total of the season- while scoring two second-half touchdowns in the back-and-forth affair, including a spectacular 17-yard leaping grab from Nathan Rourke to give the Lions a lead in the final minute of regulation. Butler enters week 11 as the CFL’s leader with 704 rushing yards. His six rushing touchdowns trail only Calgary’s Dedrick Mills.
Beaulieu (86.1 PFF Grade)- the hard-hitting safety continued his solid sophomore campaign in the backend of the defence, registering a pair of defensive tackles to go with a huge punch out in overtime that resulted in a fumble recovery for the defence, ultimately setting up Sean Whyte with a walk-off field goal in the 41-38 triumph. Beaulieu has racked up 21 defensive stops, one interception and the forced fumble through ten games.
