Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Andrew Harris has been honoured for his dominating Week 6 performance.

Harris is the third Bomber to earn the honour this season, joining quarterback Chris Streveler (Week 2) and linebacker Adam Bighill (Week 4).
He is also starting to make his mark on the CFL record book, with the Week 6 performance moving him into 15th place on the CFL’s all-time rushing list (6,878 yards), and second place among Canadian rushers.
