DL | Adrian Tracy | Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Hamilton Tiger-Cats defensive lineman Adrian Tracy was all over the field at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in the Tiger-Cats’ 31-7 victory over East Division rival the Montreal Alouettes.
The William and Mary product had a career game, notching career highs in tackles (11), sacks (2) and forced fumbles (2) in a single game.
A native of Fairfax, Virginia, Tracy wrapped up the Alouettes quarterback in the first quarter for his first career CFL sack. He forced a fumble on the play, costing the Alouettes 11 yards.
In the second quarter, Tracy brought down Cato for his second sack of the evening, this time for a five-yard loss.
In four games this season Tracy has accumulated 20 tackles, putting him second on the Tiger-Cats.
QB | Trevor Harris | Ottawa REDBLACKS
Trevor Harris had a record-breaking performance to help the Ottawa REDBLACKS continue their undefeated start after earning their third road victory of the season with a 30-20 win over the Toronto Argonauts.
Harris set a new single-game completion percentage record (with minimum 30+ attempts) with 90.3% after completing 28 of 31 passes for 392 yards versus his former team.
Harris rushed the ball on five attempts, including scoring his first major of the season in the third quarter to give the REDBLACKS a 16-13 advantage.
