Key Player Matchups
Nick Arbuckle (TOR) vs. BC Secondary
Arbuckle threw for 443 yards and 3 TDs in their Week 12 meeting. With BC’s secondary banged up, he’ll look to exploit mismatches.
Nathan Rourke (BC) vs. Toronto Defense
Rourke accounted for 5 TDs last week and faces a Toronto defense that has allowed a league-worst 40 TDs in 2025.
Spencer Brown (TOR) vs. Micah Awe (BC)
Brown is Toronto’s X-factor. Awe leads the CFL with 100+ tackles and will be tasked with shutting him down.
