TORONTO — Hamilton defensive back Frankie Williams,  B.C. linebacker Jordan Williams and Winnipeg kicker Marc Liegghio are the top performers for Week 4 of the CFL season.

Frankie Williams accumulated 184 return yards, a key interception, a tackle and a knockdown as the Tiger-Cats defeated Montreal 27-10 Friday to pick up their first win of the season.

Williams intercepted a Vernon Adams Jr. pass early in the fourth quarter and returned it 39 yards. It led to a Dane Evans touchdown pass to Nikola Kalinic to give the Tiger-Cats a 19-10 lead.

Jordan Williams, the first-overall pick in the CFL Draft,  recorded his first career interception and added eight tackles in the Lions’ 24-12 win at Ottawa on Saturday.

Liegghio went a perfect four-for-four on field goals in his first pro start, including a 45-yard field goal with 37 seconds remaining, in the Blue Bombers’ 18-16 win Sunday over visiting Calgary.
