• Bighill’s accomplishment marked the 33rd time a CFL player has recorded 100+ tackles in a single season
• 18 players have accomplished this feat
• This is the THIRD time in Bighill’s five-year CFL career he notched over 100 total tackles in a season. He first did it in 2012 and in 2013
• First-year player Jeff Knox Jr. on the Saskatchewan Roughriders has notched 101 tackles to join Bighill in the century club

5,000 YARDS

• Last week Henry Burris not only eclipsed the 60,000 career passing mark, he also notched 5,000 passing yards in one season for the third-time in his career
• This is the 35th time in CFL history that a QB has surpassed the 5,000 yard mark and Burris is one of just 16 different players to have reached that plateau
• Burris is just 219 yards short of tying his career-high passing yards with two games left to play
• There are FOUR active QBs in the league that have hit the 5,000 yard mark: Henry Burris (2015, 2012 and 2008), Ricky Ray (2008, 2006 and 2005), Kevin Glenn (2010 and 2007) and Darian Durant (2010)
• Bo Levi Mitchell needs to average 348 passing yards in the final two games to reach 5,000 this season

• Joining Eric Rogers, Adarius Bowman, Chris Williams, Emmanuel Arceneaux and Marquay McDaniel with 1,000 receiving yards this season are SJ Green and Canadian Brad Sinopoli
• Sinopoli becomes the second REDBLACKS receiver to reach the milestone, following Chris Williams. This is Sinopoli’s career-high in receiving yards (1,008) and receptions (83) with two games remaining. Teammate Ernest Jackson is now just 65 yards short of 1,000 and Greg Ellingson needs only 106 yards
