I want to say before we go too long that SJ Green hurt his knee and is out for the season.  It sounded to me that his career is over.

Amazing game!  The Eskimos enjoyed a 31-6 lead in the third quarter at home.  This is the Ticats' biggest comeback in team history.  (Remember, the Tigers were founded in 1869, the same year as the Cincinnati Red Stockings.)  Masoli set a league record with 23 straight pass completions, in front of the guy (Maas) who had held the record.

Matt Nichols had a great game, and I expect that he will be the Bombers' starter for a while.  Drew Willy had good stats, but couldn't find the end zone.
