Pirates in CFL: DaShaun Amos, Hamilton win sixth straight

by | Aug 3, 2025

After Week 9 of the CFL season, it’s pretty obvious which team is one of the hottest in the league.

ECU football alum DaShaun Amos and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats won their sixth straight game on Saturday, beating Edmonton, 28-24. Hamilton (6-2) lost its first two games of the season but has been rolling since.

Amos finished with three tackles as the team rallied, then held on for the win.

 There were actually two Saturday games this week as the CFL has Sunday off. The other also involved a former ECU star. Tyler Snead led Montreal in receiving with seven catches for 89 yards but Saskatchewan, 34-6 almost shut out his team. At 7-1, Saskatchewan has the best record in the CFL.

Saskatchewan already has faced Hamilton, winning 28-23 in Week 2. That was Hamilton’s last loss. The two teams play again in Week 11.

Here’s what the ECU alum did this week in the CFL.

  • DaShaun Amos, DB, Hamilton Tiger-Cats: Three tackles in 28-24 win over Edmonton
  • Stanley Bryant, OL, Winnipeg Blue Bombers: Missed his third straight game with an ankle injury
  • Justin Hardy, WR, Ottawa Red Blacks: Had four catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns in 31-11 win over Calgary. He scored both touchdowns in the first half and had a catch that led to a field goal as Ottwa scored 17 second-quarter points to lead 17-3 at the half.
  • Tyler Snead, WR, Montreal Alouettes: Led the team with seven catches for 89 yards in 34-6 loss to Saskatchewan
  • Jeremy Lewis, Edge, BC Lions: Off week
  • Hampton Ergle, OL, Toronto Argonauts: Did not play in 40-31 loss to Winnipeg
  • Parker Moorer, OL, Ottawa Red Blacks: Played in 31-11 win over Calgary
