DEFENSIVE TACKLES – LB Kevin Eiben

Veteran linebacker Kevin Eiben continues to quietly rack up tackles. The Delta. B.C. native added another 8 to his season total which now sits at a league-leading 82. Heading into next week’s game in Regina, Eiben is on pace to match his career-high in defensive tackles with 113, which he recorded back in 2005.

FIELD GOAL KICKING (LONG) – K Justin Medlock
|
Justin Medlock made another case as to why it was a good idea for the Argos to once again pursue him mid-season. After hitting a 50-yard field goal on his first attempt back two weeks ago against Winnipeg, Medlock improved his season long total on Saturday when he blasted a 52-yard field goal in the first quarter.
