Let’s revisit the best in social media from Week 11 in the CFL.
Friday | Winnipeg at Edmonton
The Esks scored the opening punch before kickoff, with a tongue-in-cheek chirp for the Bombers related to last week’s NFL pre-season game at IG Field.

Once the game began, however, the Bombers took control and by the end of the night secured the W.

Winnipeg fired back following the win, which lifted it two games clear of the pack atop the West Division.
Thanks for making us feel so at home! https://t.co/49dh2w3cbf

Saturday | Ottawa at Saskatchewan
The Saskatchewan Roughriders might just be for real.
Craig Dickenson’s squad raced to a 20-0 lead on the REDBLACKS, then put it in cruise the rest of the night.

The Ticats did enough to pull out the road W (despite a late scare from the Lions), and their social team came up with another fantastic graphic following the win.

Former Alouette Tanner Marsh couldn’t help but chime in following Montreal’s ridiculous double-reverse touchdown.
Whoa. Bruh. I’m all on the band wagon for an Alouette team led by @bigplay_va 🤯👍 #CFLGameday https://t.co/Mq30EVykWo

Calgary fan Eric McKee’s tweet summarized the weekend.
Waiting to board my flight home and thinking about this #TouchdownAtlantic weekend. The most @CFL thing I saw this weekend wasn’t the game. It was the night before at a bar, watching a guy in a Bombers jersey and a guy in an Alouettes jersey help hang up an Argos flag #CFLFamily
