Eskimos linebacker Deon Lacey is a CFL Player of the Week for Week 8 for his performance in last Thursday’s 23-12 win against the Montreal Alouettes at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium.
Lacey tallied nine defensive tackles and capped the night with a game clinching 19-yard interception returned for a touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the game.
The West Alabama product leads the Eskimos in defensive tackles and is fourth in the CFL with 44. He is third in the league in total tackles with 50.
CFL Players of the Week are chosen by a panel of judges who independently send their selections to the CFL head office. The panel includes former players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde of TSN and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
The Eskimos visit the Toronto Argonauts this Saturday, Aug. 20, at BMO Field in Toronto. Kickoff is 2 p.m. MT.
