TORONTO — Receivers in the CFL sometimes can make the most difficult catches look like routine plays.
That’s what Jaelon Acklin, Hergy Mayala and Nic Demski did in Week 11, catching a pass in traffic to help their teams come out with a win.
Speaking of winning, James Letcher Jr. was back doing James Letcher Jr. things to help the Montreal Alouettes win their ninth out of 10 games.

HERGY MAYALA’S CATCH
When McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw the football, it looked like there was no chance that it would get to Mayala in time. Wrong.
The pivot threaded the needle perfectly and his receiver showed the necessary concentration to catch it between two defenders for a big gain amidst an even bigger night for the Elks offence.
NIC DEMSKI’S TOUCHDOWN
Demski and Zach Collaros displayed timing that befits a veteran duo that has been there done that before.
The pivot threw the ball quickly to his receiver just as he reached the top of his route, making both BC Lions defenders in the area unable to get there in time.
JAELON ACKLIN’S RECEPTION
The REDBLACKS were trailing by two and needing to put together a game-winning drive. In comes Acklin and his steady hands to take the win from the jaws of defeat, or to be less dramatic, to take the ball from Demerio Houston’s hand.
The veteran receiver showed immense focus to stay with the ball and convert a crucial second down late in the eventual Ottawa win over the Calgary Stampeders.
JAMES LETCHER’S RETURN TOUCHDOWN
If you miss a field goal against the Alouettes, you better be prepared to stop Letcher Jr.
The ace special teamer took a missed kick back the other way 128 yards for the score and a lead for Montreal in the fourth quarter.
