CFL Players of the Week - Week 13

The Marcus Thigpen show in Moncton this weekend, offered up enough video evidence to mark a spot on the Gibson's Awards honour rolls for Week 13.

With his outstanding performance at Touchdown Atlantic, Thigpen snared the Special Teams Player of the Week award, his long distance touchdown ramble for over 100 yards sealing his sport for the Gibson's this week.

His highlight roll performance was just one of many considered this weekend, with Brandon Whitakers' work against the Eskimos good enough to claim the Offensive Player of the Week Award, his second award this year from Gibson's.

Jovon Johnson received defensive honours for Saturdays effort in a losing cause against the Argonauts, While Ricky Foley claimed his award from that same game as he stood out over the weekend as far as Canadian players performed.

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