• Bruce highlights CFL weekly awards

  Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Hamilton wide receiver Arland Bruce III, Edmonton defensive back Chris Thompson, Saskatchewan kicker Luca Congi and Roughriders slotback Andy Fantuz were selected as the CFL's top performers for Week 5 of the 2010 season.

  Bruce earned the Offensive Player of the Week honor after his big performance in the Tiger-Cats' loss to Saskatchewan.

  He tied the CFL record with 16 receptions and recorded 272 receiving yards -- sixth-most all-time in a single game. Two of his receptions were for touchdowns.

  Earning the defensive award was Thompson, who helped the Eskimos win their first game of the season by notching a career-high two interceptions. He added two tackles in the 28-25 victory.

  Congi took home the special teams award for the week by scoring 23 points in the Riders' 37-24 win over Hamilton. He went 7-for-7 on field goals to set a career high and come within one of the CFL record.

  Rounding out the weekly awards, Fantuz took Canadian Player of the Week honors.

  The University of Western Ontario alumnus had eight catches for 100 yards to help the Roughriders beat the Ticats.
