Mike Reilly Named CFL Player of the Week

Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly is a CFL Player for the Week for Week 10 for his performance in Edmonton’s 40-24 victory over the Montreal Alouettes last Saturday.

Reilly helped lead the Green and Gold to their sixth win of the season when he threw for 424 yards and three touchdowns, completing 33 of 42 pass attempts. He also finished with eight carries for 30 yards and one touchdown.

Reilly continues to lead the league in passing yards with 3,046 and in passing touchdowns with 19. He also has league lead in rushing touchdown with eight.

This is the fifth time Reilly has received national honours this season – He was previously named a CFL Player of the Week for Weeks 1, 3 and 7. He was also CFL Player of the Month for June.

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.
