Gibson’s Finest CFL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
DE – John Chick – Saskatchewan Roughriders
Hamilton Tiger-Cats 23 @ Saskatchewan Roughriders 33
Highlights / Key Stats:
John Chick put in a great defensive effort in the Roughriders’ win over the Tiger-Cats this past weekend, as he recorded two quarterback sacks and one forced fumble. Chick and the rest of the Riders’ defence made it difficult for the Ticats’ offence to claw back from a big first half deficit at Mosaic Stadium.

Gibson’s Finest CFL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
K – Justin Medlock – Toronto Argonauts
BC Lions 36 @ Toronto Argonauts 28
Highlights / Key Stats:
Justin Medlock had one of the most impressive performances by any special teams player this season as he kicked a perfect seven for seven field goals in the Argonauts’ narrow loss to the BC Lions this past weekend. The mark tied him with former kicker Lance Chomyc for the most field goals made in a single game by an Argonaut.
Medlock was good from distances of 52, 15, 46, 51, 51, 32, and 17 yards to cap off an impressive performance. The rookie Medlock is now 18 for 19 on field goal attempts this season for a 94.7 percent accuracy rating, tied for best in the league.
