CFL Week 20 Standouts: Chad Kelly and Bryan Cox Jr. Headline Honour Roll

Week 20 of the Canadian Football League has concluded, bringing to light some of the top performers as ranked by Pro Football Focus (PFF). In a league where every snap counts, PFF’s grading system provides a quantifiable measure of individual player performances. This week’s Honour Roll features noteworthy contributions on both sides of the ball.

The Methodology: Pro Football Focus

Pro Football Focus employs a comprehensive approach to evaluating game footage. Every game, player, and play undergoes meticulous review by PFF’s trained staff. The resulting Player Grades serve as a numerical gauge of a player’s efficacy in their role. Eligibility for offensive and defensive players hinges on a minimum of 25 snaps played, whereas special teams players need at least 10 snaps. Snap count also serves as a tie-breaker.

Offensive Luminary: Chad Kelly

Chad Kelly displayed his playmaking abilities, completing 18 of 25 passes for 275 yards. His day was punctuated by a 50-yard touchdown to Damonte Coxie in the second quarter. This marks Kelly’s fourth inclusion in the Honour Roll this season.

Defensive Dynamo: Bryan Cox Jr.

On the defensive end, Bryan Cox Jr. stood out with 51 total snaps, three tackles, and his career-first forced fumble. He also registered his initial two sacks, causing a total loss of 14 yards for the Argonauts’ offense.
