MONTREAL -- Ticats receiver Chris Williams has done it again. The sophomore Tiger-Cat tied a CFL record with his fifth kick return touchdown of the season for Hamilton in the second quarter against the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday.
Williams returned Sean Whyte's punt 70 yards for his fifth kick return touchdown of the season, tying Henry "Gizmo" Williams' CFL single-season record set in 1991.
"I've heard some very good stories about that man," he said of the elder Williams. "This league's been around for a long time. Any time you can tie a record, it's an honour. I'm thankful but I definitely would have liked to get a win."
It was Chris Williams' fourth punt-return touchdown of the season. He also returned a missed field goal for a touchdown. Gizmo Williams still holds the record for most punt-return touchdowns in a season with five.
