Henry Burris is the CFL’s offensive player of the week while Forzani was voted the league’s top Canadian performer as the duo played key roles in the Stamps’ 38-31 victory on Saturday over the reigning-Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes.

Burris completed 26 of 42 passes against the Alouettes for 422 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also carried the ball three times for 29 yards including a game-winning six-yard touchdown in the final minute of play. The 36-year-old veteran surpassed the 40,000-yard mark in career passing on Saturday and the 400-yard game was Burris’ first since an Oct. 1, 2010, game against Montreal.

Forzani gets top-Canadian honours after a milestone performance that saw the 22-year-old Calgary product net his first 100-yard receiving game as well as his first two CFL touchdowns. Forzani had six catches for 102 yards in the win over the Als and is currently the CFL’s second-leading non-import receiver for the 2011 season with 431 yards on 27 receptions.

Burris and Forzani are the fourth and fifth Calgary players this season to be honoured by the CFL’s player-of-the-week awards. Kicker Rene Paredes and kick returner Larry Taylor were named the league’s top special teams player in Weeks 2 and 6, respectively, while Jabari Arthur was voted top Canadian in Week 7.
