What a week we had!
Amazing comebacks, a new #CatchoftheYear & an All-Canadian TD.
Let’s get started with that aforementioned 1st topic.
The Bombers hosted the Alouettes to kick off Week 6.
It wouldn’t be a week in the CFL if Nik Lewis didn’t set another Career Milestone:

The Als looked to have this game wrapped up with 1:40 left and a 12 point lead.
But, as we all know, #Noleadissafe
When all hope is lost, that’s when miraculous comebacks tend to occur.

We didn’t think we’d be posting this end game graphic with 1:40 left in the 4th:
WHAT. A. FINISH.

On Friday we had a meeting of West Titans when the Esks hosted the Leos.
Someone is going to need to get Vidal some oxygen:

Oh and did we mention that this was long-time Eskimos Equipment Manager Dawyne Mandrusiask’s 1000th Game:

On Saturday, we had a good ol’ fashion DOUBLEHEADER.
Game 1 had the Riders hosting the Argos.
Prior to the game, the Riders honoured the late RB Joe McKnight

We can’t talk about the game unless we start off with “the catch heard around the world.”

Similar to Nik Lewis, Ricky Ray chalked up another Career Milestone:

However, just like Lewis, Ray’s Argos were handed an L.

Our last game of Week 6 had the Ticats heading to Cow-town to take on the Stamps.
Jerome Messam left his mark on this game:

This game also saw an All-Canadian TD.
Andrew Buckley threw his 1st CFL TD to fittingly another UC Dino alum, Anthony Parker:
