327 \u2013 BO LEVI MITCHELL PASSING YARDS<\/p>\n

Needing just 27 yards to hit the mark, Mitchell passed Tracy Ham to become 10th all time in CFL passing yards with a 41-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler<\/a>, adding another achievement to his career after recording his 100th CFL win \u2013 the fastest player to do so \u2013 just a few weeks ago. The next player that Mitchell could catch is Doug Flutie, who recorded 41,355 career yards.<\/p>\n

Finishing the game with a touchdown and an interception on top of the yardage, it was Mitchell\u2019s fourth game this season with at least 300 yards, and he has also tallied at least one touchdown in every single game during the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 DESTIN TALBERT INTERCEPTIONS<\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s offence weren\u2019t the only ones showcasing their talents on Sunday as defensive back Destin Talbert<\/a> recorded not only a season-high six defensive tackles against Ottawa, but also recorded his first interception of the season. On top of that, he also grabbed his second of the season just a quarter later.<\/p>\n

Talbert\u2019s first interception came on a grab off of Dustin Crum<\/a> in the third quarter with 10 seconds to play, while the second was picked from Justin Hardy<\/a>\u2018s attempt in the fourth quarter with just over six minutes to play. With the double pick performance, Talbert has already matched his total interceptions (2) from his rookie season.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 LEWIS WARD FIELD GOALS<\/p>\n

While the Ottawa REDBLACKS may have lost, moving to 1-7 on the season and losing starting quarterback Dru Brown<\/a> to an injury in the second quarter of the game, one of the positives to take away from their loss is that Lewis Ward is a consistent points producer for their team and kept them in the game against the red-hot Tiger-Cats.<\/p>\n

Ward was a perfect 5-for-5 on the night, knocking in all 15 of Ottawa\u2019s points including his longest kick from 45 yards out. It was Ward\u2019s third 100 per cent kicking game this season, and his most successful kicks this season surpassing the previous total of four which he achieved twice already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OTTAWA \u2013 There was much to celebrate for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday evening, winning their fourth in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-12189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
