The Canadian Football League (CFL) witnessed a remarkable display of passing prowess last week, with four quarterbacks achieving over 400 yards in a single game. This offensive surge marks the most prolific passing week since the 1995 season.
Chad Kelly of the Toronto Argonauts led the charge with an impressive 445 yards. He was closely followed by Davis Alexander of the Montreal Alouettes, who threw for 441 yards. Zach Collaros of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers recorded 421 yards, and Trevor Harris of the Saskatchewan Roughriders added 417 yards to the tally.
These significant passing performances took place over three regular-season contests. The last time four quarterbacks reached this milestone was during the sixth week of the 1995 campaign, a week that featured seven games. The recent surge underscores the league's evolution into a pass-heavy game, with quarterbacks consistently delivering high-yardage performances.
