\u00a0<\/p>\n One of my biggest takeaways from the 112th Grey Cup is just how many candidates there were for Most Valuable Player. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not going to launch into some sort of\u00a0 \u201cthey picked the wrong MVP\u201d rant. Harris was the correct choice. As was pointed out by CFL.ca\u2019s Kristina Costabile, there were a handful of Saskatchewan Roughriders who stood out on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n The fact that you can make a case for so many different players just shows how this Grey Cup is the living embodiment of the reality that football is a team game.<\/p>\n There was one name though that also deserves to be mentioned: cornerback Tevaughn Campbell<\/a>.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t think we can tell the story of the Grey Cup without putting a spotlight on Campbell. He was not perfect, but he also was right in the middle of the most important point that led to the Riders\u2019 25-17 victory.<\/p>\n Here are the three moments that stood out.<\/p>\n THE TOUGH TIMES<\/p>\n Near the end of the third quarter, with Saskatchewan up 25-7, Campbell was looking to put the game away with a possible interception return touchdown. Covering Tyson Philpot one-on-one in space is never an easy assignment as Tevaughn found out.<\/p>\n The newly minted 2025 All-CFL defender attempted to jump the route, going for the pick, but instead missed on the pass and the tackle, allowing Philpot to convert a second-and-five into a 22-yard gain.<\/p>\n Two plays later, Tevaughn was called for a pass interference penalty on Tyler Snead<\/a>, grabbing Montreal\u2019s top receiver as he attempted to double-move his way into the end zone. Snead had the advantage at the moment. It\u2019s one of those plays that saves a touchdown, but you hope you don\u2019t get caught.<\/p>\n THE INTERCEPTION<\/p>\n ANOTHER ALL-CFL STANDOUT SHOWING OUT!<\/p>\n Tevaughn Campbell<\/a> snags the @sskroughriders<\/a> interception!<\/p>\n \ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f: 112th #GreyCup<\/a> LIVE NOW \u2014 CFL (@CFL) November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Can you really blame Tevaughn for going for that pick after intercepting Davis Alexander<\/a> earlier in the quarter?<\/p>\n This particular play laughs in the face of the clich\u00e9 that defensive backs can\u2019t catch as Campbell leaped as high as he could to bring down the errant pass. A combination of being in the right place at the right time and elite athleticism was on full display as Campbell smartly left his man to swoop in for the turnover.<\/p>\n The interception would lead to the final points Saskatchewan would score all night, as the ensuing field goal gave them a 25-7 lead. No one knew at the time just how important that 48-yard Brett Lauther<\/a> kick would be.<\/p>\n THE FORCED FUMBLE<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n I think it is so important to focus on all that went right on the Shea Patterson fumble rather than fixate on just the mistake. If not for the existence of Tommy Stevens<\/a>, Patterson would be viewed as one of the game\u2019s best short-yardage quarterbacks.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go back to the play that will always be first in mind when looking back at the conclusion of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n It felt inevitable that Montreal was about to score with just over three minutes left. I imagine millions of people were thinking the Grey Cup was about to be tied with the Alouettes trailing 25-17. Patterson had already scored in the exact same scenario in the game\u2019s opening touchdown. All the momentum was with Montreal until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n As the ball was snapped, Campbell took on fullback Jacob Mason and, despite the 20-pound difference, managed to not only stand him up at the point of attack, but also push him back into Patterson. It is that contact that forced the ball loose right into the hands of Marcus Sayles. In that split second, on the edge of the line, Tevaughn turned a sure touchdown into the biggest defensive play of the game.<\/p>\n![\"112th](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/112th-Grey-Cup-Logo-EN.png\"){kind=logo}
