Philpot caught 16 passes for 281 yards and one touchdown during the month, while also breaking the single-season Canadian records for receptions and receiving yards in an Oct. 3 win over Winnipeg. He finished the regular season with 124 catches for 1,809 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Singer amassed 375 yards on 15 receptions in October, highlighted by a career-high 166 yards in a Week 19 win over Calgary and a 119-yard, one-touchdown outing in a win over B.C. on Saturday that clinched a playoff berth for the Blue Bombers.
