Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) – British Columbia wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux, Edmonton Eskimos defensive end Odell Willis and Ottawa RedBlacks kicker Brett Maher were selected as the top players for Week 4 of the CFL season.<\/p>\n
Arceneaux was named the Offensive Player of the Week after hauling in eight receptions for 145 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in the Lions’ 41-5 win over the visiting Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n
Willis garnered Defensive Player of the Week following his one sack and interception return for a TD performance in a 26-3 win over Winnipeg. He is currently tied for second in the CFL with four sacks on the season.<\/p>\n
This marks back-to-back weeks that an Edmonton defensive lineman has won the Defensive Player of the Week. Almondo Sewell won the award last week.<\/p>\n
Maher was named the Special Teams Player of the Week. He was a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals and scored all his team’s points in their historic first game at TD Place — an 18-17 decision over the Toronto Argonauts that marked the expansion club’s first-ever win.<\/p>\n
With under a minute to play in the game, Maher hit a 27-yard field goal to give the RedBlacks the lead for good. Maher also kicked successful field goals from 48, 32, 30, 26 and 22 yards away.<\/p>\n
Additionally, BC Lions running back Andrew Harris was named the Canadian Player of the Week. Harris, a Winnipeg native, had 12 carries for 72 yards, as well as four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ big win over the Alouettes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
