The REDBLACKS have clinched their first playoff berth since the 2018 season, but have lost their last four games, tumbling to third place in the East Division. The team travels to Toronto this week to face the Argonauts in a game that could determine who hosts the Eastern Semi-Final on Nov. 2.
Brown has made 255 of 383 passes for 3,114 yards and 11 touchdowns with eight interceptions, placing him sixth in the league in passing. He has a 7-5-1 record in his first year as a full-time starter.
