Montreal's Tyson Philpot torched Edmonton's defence while Toronto's Damonte Coxie set up a game-winning field goal against Calgary as the CFL named its Week 10 standouts.
The CFL has named Montreal receiver Tyson Philpot, Saskatchewan receiver KeeSean Johnson and Toronto receiver Damonte Coxie as its top players for Week 10. Philpot caught 10 passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns as the Alouettes beat the Edmonton Elks 48-30 on Saturday.

Johnson had 11 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown late in the first half as Saskatchewan defeated Ottawa 42-20 on Friday, earning his second weekly award. Coxie posted a season-high 161 yards on eight receptions for Toronto, including a 31-yard grab with 57 seconds left that set up the winning field goal in a 33-30 victory over the Calgary Stampeders on Thursday, his first honour of the season.
