92 – For the third straight game, Terrell Sinkfield Jr. recorded 90+ receiving yards and at least 98 yards from scrimmage. Sinkfield caught passes from all three Ticats quarterbacks on Saturday and has turned himself into a consistent contributor on the offence.
8 – Justin Hickman recorded a quarterback sack for the third straight game on Saturday, bringing his season total up to eight. The total is the second-best of Hickman’s career in the CFL, behind only the 2011 season when he led the league in sacks with 13. All eight of Hickman’s 2015 sacks have come over the course of the last six games.
6 – The Ticats have six receivers on their roster with 300+ receiving yards this season (Andy Fantuz, Bakari Grant, Tiquan Underwood, Terrell Sinkfield Jr., Luke Tasker and Terrence Toliver). Prior to this weekend’s games, no other team in the CFL had more than four players with more than 300 yards receiving.
3 – Three Ticats receivers have over 600 (645) yards receiving this season, putting them all on pace for 1,000. Terrence Toliver (673) leads the team and is the only receiver to play all 12 games, while Luke Tasker (667) and Terrrell Sinkfield (648) are also over the 600-yard mark. The REDBLACKS are the only other team in the CFL with three receivers over 600 yards.
32% – The Ticats defence held Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly to 32% completion percentage (7/22) in Saturday’s game, the lowest single-game total for any quarterback in the CFL this season.
74.3 – Opposing quarterbacks have a 74.3 quarterback rating against the Ticats defence this season, the second-lowest total behind only Edmonton (74.2).
5 – Emanuel Davis now holds the outright lead in the CFL for interceptions, after bringing in his fifth against the Eskimos on Saturday. Davis also leads the league in defensive touchdowns (3), interception returns yards (176), and
131 – Justin Medlock sits ahead of all other kickers in the CFL with 131 kicking points. Medlock’s 40 one-point converts are twice the amount of any other kicker in the league, and he holds a 21-point lead on the next closest kicker, Boris Bede.
87.6 – Medlock’s 87.6% field goal percentage makes him the most efficient kicker with at least 150 field goal attempts in CFL history.
