TYREIK MCALLISTER | CALGARY STAMPEDERS<\/p>\n
WEEK 8 | JULY 24<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start with one of the best individual performances in any game this season. Tyreik McAllister finished Calgary\u2019s 52-30 win over the Blue Bombers with three touchdowns scored in three different ways. McAllister started his banner night with a 17-yard rushing major before he really let the fireworks fly with a pair of big-time scores in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
It started with a 56-yard receiving touchdown on a Vernon Adams Jr. bullet to help the Stamps retake the lead. Then on Winnipeg\u2019s ensuing drive, McAllister took a Sergio Castillo<\/a> missed field goal to the house on a 118-yard return to bust the game wide open.<\/p>\n Big plays are starting to become McAllister\u2019s signature, aren\u2019t they? His Week 8 performance adds to a tally that also includes a 90-yard punt return touchdown (Week 4 at BC) and a 120-yard missed field goal return (Week 3 vs. Saskatchewan).<\/p>\n AUSTIN MACK | EDMONTON ELKS<\/p>\n WEEK 8 | JULY 23<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Apparently, Week 8 was all about multiple big plays from the same guy. Austin Mack was a big part of Edmonton\u2019s thrilling comeback win over the Riders in Week 8, and both of his touchdowns were of the big play variety en route to a 173-yard evening.<\/p>\n Mack started by getting behind coverage and reeling in a 57-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter to help the Elks retake the lead. Then, with Edmonton back down by one early in the fourth, it was encore time. Mack got free once again and this time took a Cody Fajardo<\/a> pass all the way home for an 81-yard score.<\/p>\n TREY VAVAL | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS<\/p>\n WEEK 6 | JULY 10<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With the Bombers already up by eight in the fourth quarter of their 30-21 win over Toronto in Week 6, Trey Vaval called game with an electrifying touchdown. The reigning Most Outstanding Rookie and Most Outstanding Special Teams Player showed why those are deserving awards with the longest play of the season so far.<\/p>\n Vaval tracked down a missed Lirim Hajrullahu<\/a> field goal at the very back of the end zone and did what he does best: put opposing return teams on the back foot. Vaval made multiple Argos players miss en route to a 129-yard touchdown, which also served as the game-winning score.<\/p>\n JANARION GRANT | TORONTO ARGONAUTS<\/p>\n WEEK 4 | JUNE 26<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Toronto set the tone early in their 40-34 road win over the Roughriders in Week 4. And who better to do that than Janarion Grant<\/a>? After Saskatchewan\u2019s first possession ended with a two-and-out, Grant fielded an Oscar Chapman punt at his own 42 and turned on the jets. A few seconds later, Grant was home free with a 68-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n It was Grant\u2019s 11th career punt return touchdown, moving him into a tie for second on the all-time list with Hall of Famer Earl Winfield. And with 14 overall return touchdowns, Grant is one away from tying Bashir Levingston (15) for second on that career list, too. Henry Gizmo Williams owns both all-time records with 26 punt return touchdowns and 31 total return touchdowns.<\/p>\n JUSTIN RANKIN | EDMONTON ELKS<\/p>\n WEEK 3 | JUNE 20<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n One of this year\u2019s Most Outstanding Player frontrunners has had a number of banner games already. But Justin Rankin\u2019s Week 3 outing in Edmonton\u2019s thrilling 32-29 win over the Alouettes is the one that qualifies here.<\/p>\n Rankin finished the night with 179 rushing yards, 230 yards from scrimmage, and two touchdowns. And those two majors came in the third quarter. Rankin\u2019s first was a 36-yard scamper to give the Elks their first lead. And on the very next drive, Edmonton extended that lead as Rankin avoided two tackles behind the line before finding daylight and driving home a 47-yard rushing major.<\/p>\n TYSON PHILPOT | MONTREAL ALOUETTES<\/p>\n WEEK 2 | JUNE 12<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The first double shot of big plays came in Week 2 and it came from one of the league\u2019s most dangerous players. Tyson Philpot<\/a> had a night for the ages as Montreal took down the Argos 37-30 on Friday Night Football.<\/p>\n Philpot got the night going with a 45-yard touchdown catch to open scoring after a perfectly executed flea flicker involving Davis Alexander<\/a> and Travis Theis. Then, with the Als up by seven late in the fourth quarter, Philpot caught an Alexander pass in stride, hit the afterburner on Tarvarus McFadden<\/a>, and blazed home for a 56-yard major to put the game away. Philpot finished the night with nine catches, 193 yards and two big-play touchdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re a CFL fan, Saturday, September 12 is the day for you.
