CFL Players of the Week - Week 12

Three of our four nominees this week are returning Gibson's winners, finding that their performances in week twelve were worthy of yet another nod by the Gibson's panel.

The Bombers seemingly had the most distractions of the week,  some internal issues to settle, flights to rebook and all of that, but when the final scores came in over the weekend, they were the again on the winning side.

That fact resonated with the Gibson's Player Awards panel, which found Buck Pierce's success at Molson Stadium to be worthy of the top Offensive Player of the Week award.

The return of the Saskatchewan Roughriders once again caught the attention of Gibson's, as Chris McKenzie grabbed the Defensive Player of the Week award. Noel Prefontaine's work for the Argos on the weekend in another losing cause proved to be worthy of the Special Teams award for the week.

And once again Jerome Messam finds himself on the honour rolls at Gibson's, Messam collected the Canadian of the week award, his their award this year so far.

The full review of the awards for week twelve can be found below.
