Burris completed 82.9 per cent (29 of 35) of his passes for 404 yards and two touchdowns in a winning effort over Edmonton last week. He added two rushing majors on three carries for 28 yards. Burris led an offence that compiled 587 yards of net offence in a 36-20 victory last week as the Stamps extended their winning streak to seven games. The Stampeders’ all-time leading passer has thrown 23 touchdowns this season to lead all Canadian Football League pivots.

Calgary boasts the league’s best record at 9-1, leads the CFL with 35.9 points scored per game and is tops with an average of 445.4 yards of offence per contest.

This marks the sixth time a Stampeders’ player has been recognized in the CFL’s weekly awards. Previous Calgary winners are Jon Cornish, who was named top Canadian in Week 4 and Week 9, Romby Bryant, who was top offensive player in Week 4, Ken-Yon Rambo, who received the offensive-player-of the-week nod in Week 9, and Brandon Smith, who earned defensive player honours for Week 10.
