JALEN PHILPOT | RECEIVER | CALGARY STAMPEDERS | 6 RECEIVING FIRST DOWNS<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jalen Philpot was one of Calgary\u2019s most reliable weapons in Saturday\u2019s Western Semi-Final at Save-on-Foods Field at BC Place. According to PFF, Jalen recorded more receiving first downs (six) than anyone on Saturday, underlining how often he extended drives for the Stampeders.<\/p>\n
He finished with 120 yards on seven catches and a touchdown, showing impressive consistency in contested situations. While Calgary\u2019s season ended in heartbreak, Philpot\u2019s late-season surge was one of the team\u2019s most promising developments as they look ahead to 2026.<\/p>\n
TYSON PHILPOT | RECEIVER | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | 5 RECEIVING FIRST DOWNS<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other side of the country, but same family, Tyson Philpot<\/a> played a starring role in Montreal\u2019s Eastern Semi-Final win over Winnipeg. PFF credited him with five receiving first downs (second behind only his brother), part of a monster outing that saw him haul in 10 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n Tyson also added a rushing score on a one-yard carry, continuing his reputation as one of the league\u2019s most dynamic playmakers. His all-around versatility was key in keeping the Blue Bombers\u2019 defence off balance all afternoon.<\/p>\n STEVIE SCOTT III | RUNNING BACK | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | 9 MISSED TACKLES FORCED<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t just through the air where Montreal shined. Running back Stevie Scott III was a force on the ground, with PFF charting nine missed tackles forced in the Eastern Semi-Final, the most by any player on the weekend.<\/p>\n Scott powered his way to 133 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, adding another 29 yards on three receptions. His blend of power and patience gave Winnipeg\u2019s front seven fits and provided the Alouettes with critical balance on offence.<\/p>\n DAVIS ALEXANDER | QUARTERBACK | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | 4 BIG-TIME THROWS<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In his first career playoff start, Davis Alexander<\/a> delivered a statement performance. Per PFF, Alexander produced four big-time throws, which are high-difficulty, high-value passes graded at the top end of PFF\u2019s scale. That\u2019s tied for first this week, but with the caveat that Alexander also produced only one turnover-worthy play.<\/p>\n The young pivot finished 24-of-34 for 384 yards with one touchdown and one interception, confidently pushing the ball downfield and spreading it around to his playmakers. It was a poised, mature outing that has Alouettes fans dreaming about what comes next for their still undefeated starter.<\/p>\n MATHIEU BETTS | DEFENSIVE LINEMAN | BC LIONS | 6 PRESSURES<\/p>\n BETTS BRINGS HIM DOWN!<\/p>\n A HUGE sack for the CFL leader in that category in the regular season!<\/p>\n \ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f: Western Semi-Final LIVE NOW \u2014 CFL (@CFL) November 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n
