When the lights were brightest, Trevor Harris<\/a> delivered. According to PFF, the veteran quarterback was the only pivot in the Division Finals who didn\u2019t record a single turnover-worthy play, guiding the Roughriders to a thrilling 24-21 win over the BC Lions in the Western Final.<\/p>\n

Harris completed 26 of 38 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns, remaining poised under pressure and making two big-time throws, including several key completions on Saskatchewan\u2019s game-winning drive. With the 112th Grey Cup up next, Harris looks locked in and ready for another championship shot.<\/p>\n

DAVIS ALEXANDER | QUARTERBACK | MONTREAL ALOUETTES | 3 MISSED TACKLES FORCED<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Davis Alexander<\/a> didn\u2019t have his cleanest outing through the air, but his toughness and playmaking ability once again stood out. According to PFF, the Alouettes quarterback led all players in the Division Finals with three missed tackles forced on the ground, willing Montreal past Hamilton in the Eastern Final with a 19-16 walk-off win.<\/p>\n

Alexander finished 19 of 26 for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while adding 74 yards on seven carries. Even when banged up late, he found ways to move the chains and make big plays when they mattered most, a big reason he remains undefeated as a CFL starter.<\/p>\n

SAMUEL EMILUS | RECEIVER | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS | 5 RECEIVING FIRST DOWNS<\/p>\n

Samuel Emilus<\/a> is finding his groove again at just the right time. The Canadian receiver was a steady presence in Saskatchewan\u2019s offence, recording five receiving first downs and finishing with nine catches for 100 yards in the Riders\u2019 Western Final victory.<\/p>\n

Emilus\u2019 23-yard reception late in the fourth quarter helped spark the game-winning drive, showing his reliability in clutch moments. His return to form adds another dimension to an already well-balanced Roughriders attack heading into the 112th Grey Cup.<\/p>\n

MARCUS SAYLES | DEFENSIVE BACK | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS | 33.3 COMPLETION PERCENTAGE ALLOWED<\/p>\n

TIP DRILL X3!<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan takes it away, Marcus Sayles has it on a wild play!<\/p>\n

Marcus Sayles<\/a> was a shutdown force on the back end for the Roughriders. The veteran defensive back allowed just one of three passes thrown his way to be completed, a 33.3 completion percentage, while also recording an interception and a forced incompletion.<\/p>\n

Sayles didn\u2019t allow a single first down and made life difficult for BC\u2019s passing game all night. His coverage discipline and ball skills were key in keeping the Lions\u2019 explosive offence in check and helped set the tone for a dominant defensive effort.<\/p>\n

KENNY LAWLER | RECEIVER | HAMILTON TIGER-CATS | 8 RECEIVING FIRST DOWNS<\/p>\n

What a season for Kenny Lawler<\/a>. The Hamilton receiver once again showed why he\u2019s among the league\u2019s elite, leading all players in the Division Finals with eight receiving first downs.<\/p>\n

Lawler caught nine passes for 117 yards in the loss to Montreal, continuing to show instant chemistry with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. Even in defeat, Lawler\u2019s consistency and route precision stood out, a reminder of how vital he\u2019s been to Hamilton\u2019s offence from Week 1 through to the post-season.<\/p>\n
