Duels and a shootout headlined the week that was for CFL pivots.
The results caused some movement in the Quarterback Index.
1) Mike Reilly
Edmonton Eskimos
(Last Week: 1)
Jason Maas and Reilly appear to be a great match. The pair engineered a comeback from 19-7 down to earn a thrilling overtime victory. No. 13 clearly likes playing in the up-tempo offence constructed by the former Eskimos quarterback.
2) Bo Levi Mitchell
Calgary Stampeders
(Last Week: 2)
On the road, in a sold out hostile environment, against the CFL’s hottest QB, Mitchell answered time and time again.
3) Darian Durant
Saskatchewan Roughriders
(Last Week: 3)
A healthy Durant means the Riders are competitive. Inches cost Saskatchewan a real shot at the team’s first win with Chris Jones.

4) Trevor Harris
Ottawa REDBLACKS
(Last Week: 4)
NBA Jam style on fire – that’s how hot Harris has been. If he keeps it up Ottawa would be hard pressed to pull him off the field when Henry Burris gets healthy.
5) Kevin Glenn
Montreal Alouettes
(Last Week: 5)
While the Als were on a bye week, Glenn saw another one of his receivers lost for an extended period of time. Kenny Stafford was placed on the six-game injured list with a broken toe.
6) Ricky Ray
Toronto Argonauts
(Last Week: 6)
The 36-year-old looked comfortable at B.C. Place, but that’s the first, last and only time he’ll play in a dome this season. That said, it was Ray’s best performance for Toronto in 2016.
7) Drew Willy
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
(Last Week: 8)
Winnipeg’s signal caller needed to step up and perform and he did that in Week 3. Willy was decisive, threw the ball accurately and looked more comfortable in Paul LaPolice’s offence.
8) Jonathan Jennings
BC Lions
(Last Week: 7)
The second-year QB has struggled to find a rhythm through three weeks. Travis Lulay is breathing down his neck.
9) Travis Lulay
BC Lions
(Last Week: 10)
The 2011 CFL MOP did more in just over a quarter of action than Jonathon Jennings managed in nearly three. Lulay drove the Lions for a touchdown on his second possession and connected on 12 of 15 throws.
10) Jeremiah Masoli
Hamilton Tiger-Cats
(Last Week: 9)
When Masoli had Hamilton driving for the win in the final seconds with a chance to atone for costly mistakes earlier in the game, he turned the ball over again. Two interceptions and two lost fumbles – too many turnovers.
