Hamilton Tiger-Cats quarterback Henry Burris was named the Offensive Player of the Week for Week 11. Burris completed 25-of-35 passes for 375 yards and a season-high four touchdowns to help the Tiger-Cats reach the .500 mark with a 37-29 win at home over the Lions.

Burris, a Temple University product, threw four touchdown passes from 37, 32, 23 and 6 yards, and also ran three times for 12-yards.

Through 11 weeks into the season, Burris has a comfortable lead atop the passing yards list with 3,181 and is tied for second in touchdown passes with 18.

Burris is closing in on a significant milestone; he is 217 passing yards short of reaching 50,000 career passing yards to become the fifth CFL quarterback to reach the 50,000 yards club.
