Oh yes, indeed: We’ve had plenty of storylines and action to this point in the 2021 season and Week 6 was no exception.
However, let’s begin with the off-the-field battles first, between the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
To recap: The Ticats took the Argonauts to the wood-shop in Week 5’s Labour Day Classic, and with Drake dropping his new album “Certified Lover Boy” days prior, online content beckoned for deep-fried social media heat:

WOOOOWEEEEE, this rivalry is red hot, and we can’t wait for October 11th when these two East Division rivals square off again!
And speaking of rivalries, the Blue Bombers dropped this gem on social, following their Banjo Bowl victory in Week 6:

Whatever prompted BC Lions’ Lucky Whitehead to switch up the pre-game entrance into BC Place, it’s working!
Whitehead rolled in for the game on a scooter, and then proceeded to GO OFF Saturday night, including a 119-yard touchdown off a missed FG try from the REDBLACKS!

And finally, HAVE A NIGHT KJ! That Bo Levi Mitchell x Kamar Jorden combo has returned, and it’s deadly for opposing secondaries: Enjoy.
