CFL Players of the Week - Week 17

Three quarters of Eskimo football was all that the judges needed to see this weekend, despite the near miraculous comeback of the Toronto Argonauts, the Eskimos efforts in the first three quarters provided for two of the four Gibson's Players of the Week Award winners.

Ricky Ray's offensive output on Friday evening in Toronto was more than enough to secure his spot was Offensive Player of the Week, while Jerome Messam once again collects a Gibson's Award, his fifth one this year for his work as Canadian Player of the Week.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defence is one of the most feared in the CFL and once again one of their group is an award winner, as Jason Vega picked up the defensive player of the week award, thanks to his play on Saturday which included four tackles and two sacks of Anthony Calvillo.

Wrapping up our look the awards this week, Justin Medlock snares another Special Plays player of the week, thanks to his perfect day at the field goal tee, going seven for seven, providing for 21 of the Ti Cats 42 points over the BC Lions.
