For the second straight week, two Tiger-Cats players have been named CFL Players of the Week.
After throwing for 318 yards and a touchdown and registering 35 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Ticats 25-23 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday, quarterback Zach Collaros is the CFL’s Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in his career.
In four games since returning from injury, Collaros has thrown for 1,260 passing yards and six touchdowns while completing 73% of his pass attempts.
Defensive end Eric Norwood has been recognized as the CFL’s Defensive Player of the Week following his four-sack, seven-tackle outing against the Esks. Norwood’s performance marked just the fourth time a Tiger-Cat has recorded four sacks in a single game.
Norwood has 23 defensive tackles and seven quarterback sacks in eight appearances this season.
