Mississauga – The Toronto
Argonauts Football Club would like to congratulate reigning CFL Most
Outstanding Player QB Kerry Joseph on being named CFL Offensive Player
of the Week. This is the first time as an Argo, and 10th time in his
career, that Joseph has earned the award.
Joseph
put together one of the best single-game performances of the year in a
thrilling 35-31 victory last week at Rogers Centre. Not only did he pass for a
game-high 343 yards and a touchdown, the KJ rushed for a game-high 118 yards
and scored a touchdown on the ground. Joseph commanded the offence throughout
the game, including a methodical, game–winning 11-play, 109-yard drive that
exhilarated the home crowd. On the final play of the drive, Joseph ran 13 yards
and hurdled into the endzone with just 23 seconds remaining in the contest. He
became the first Argonauts quarterback since Doug Flutie in 1997 to pass
for more than 300 yards and rush for more than 100 yards in a single game.
The
Argos would
also like to applaud rookie receiver Tyler Scott who was named the
Runner-Up CFL Canadian of the Week. The Windsor,
Ontario native, who sat out of football last
season after transferring from Saginaw
Valley State
to the University of Western Ontario, hauled in 6 passes for 89 yards in
the Argos’
victory against the Eskimos. Five of his catches were made on Toronto’s final drive of the game and led to
Kerry Joseph’s game-winning touchdown.
