Bighill was named a Week 9 Top Performer after he recorded seven tackles, one of those for a loss, along with a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery in a 29-23 Bombers win over Hamilton.

Bighill was asked on 680 CJOB following the Hamilton game if he thought his latest effort was his best with the Blue and Gold.

“I don’t quite know what the stats were, but scoring a touchdown and having two picks in a game isn’t bad either,” he said.
