In Week 2 of the Canadian Football League regular season, Bo Levi Mitchell earned the first ever Blue HQ Media CFL Player of the Week award. Mitchell, a 28-year-old quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders, torched the opposing Toronto defense to the tune of 324 yards and three touchdowns. Perhaps even more impressive was his 90.9 percent completion percentage as he connected on 20 of his 22 passes.

Mitchell, now in his seventh year in the league, has been one of its’ best quarterbacks as of late, throwing for over 4,500 yards in each of the previous three seasons. Unsurprisingly, the Stamps have been one of the best teams in the league each of those seasons. Mitchell’s Week 2 performance helped lift Calgary to a 2-0 record. Of course, Mitchell was not the only standout this week as several players came close to the award.

Runner-ups

Jeremiah Masoli, the quarterback of Hamilton got back on track in front of 31,334 hostile opposing fans after stumbling out of the gate to start Week 1. Despite throwing for 344 yards last week against Calgary, the Stamps kept Masoli out of the end zone with the exception of one rushing score. In contrast, he threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing for 59 yards on seven carries this week. Behind Masoli, the Tiger-Cats picked up their first victory of the season, improving their record to 1-1.

Next, we have the final candidate for the honor, 24-year-old Mercer Timmis, Masoli’s teammate and Hamilton’s running back. Timmis had the biggest game of his CFL career in Week 2 as he fully took advantage of his 17 carries, racking up 133 yards and two touchdowns. Timmis could be a name to watch moving forward as the CFL season progresses.

Be sure to check back next week as we examine the top performers of Week 3.
