2. PASSING TITLE

It’s small consolation for the league’s reigning most outstanding player, but Mike Reilly was king of the passing hill again this year, rolling out a 320-yard game with 83 per cent accuracy like it was routine. His league-high 5,562 passing yards on the season was the 33-year-old’s third-straight time reaching the 5,000-yard mark and third-straight time winning the league’s passing title. This season was proof it takes more than a big arm to win consistently, but it’s an arm the Eskimos want nothing more than to have back again next year. Unfortunately, he’s not under contract – to any team – past this season, which is something that won’t change before a new collective-bargaining agreement is struck.

3. RUSHING TITLE

He came in needing just eight yards to surpass Ottawa RedBlacks running back William Powell to finish the season as the CFL’s rushing-yards leader, and Andrew Harris got them, and more, against the Eskimos on Saturday. The Winnipeg-born rusher carried two times for gains of four and 31 yards before heading to the sidelines to spend the rest of the game as a spectator. With a career-high 1,390 rushing yards on the season, Harris finished on top of the league for consecutive seasons and the second year in a row. Yet it’s middle linebacker Adam Bighill who was voted as the Bombers’ nominee for most outstanding player?

4. RECEIVING TITLE

Duke Williams became the third Eskimos player in a row to finish on top of the league in receiving yards, which is something Reilly has helped a teammate to five out of his six seasons with the Eskimos. Williams cooled off after posting a career-high 172 receiving yards in the Labour Day rematch, which was his last triple-digit performance of the season. But considering he hit 100 yards or more seven times before that, Williams was uncatchable down the stretch, which saw him cap off his second CFL campaign with a 45-yard outing, including a picture-perfect dive at the back of the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown Saturday to capture the receiving title with 1.579 yards. The six-foot-three, 225-pound 25-year-old is not under contract after this season, and is fully expected to have more National Football League opportunities, like Derel Walker and Brandon Zylstra before him, on his horizon.
