Riders Score Three Players of the Week!

Congratulations to three Saskatchewan Roughriders and a former Roughrider who were named the Gibson's Finest Players of the Week for the first round of the CFL playoffs. Weston Dressler was the offensive player of the week with 8 catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns, including a 75-yard bomb from quarterback Darian Durant. Lance Frazier got the nod on defence piling up 6 tackles, 2 sacks, a forced fumble, and a beautiful interception versus Travis Lulay. BC Lions kicker Paul McCallum was the special teams player of the week. McCallum went 5 for 5 on field goals and scored 18 points in BC's semi-final loss to the Roughriders. Rounding out the picks was Jason Clermont as top Canadian. Clermont had 3 catches for 63 yards, including the game-winning touchdown in double overtime to secure a West Final berth in Calgary against the Stampeders next weekend. This was Clermont's first touchdown in almost two years of play, and his first as a Rider. He has a flair for the dramatic doesn't he? He'll hopefully have some opportunities to score an even bigger one in the next week or two.
