Gridiron Nations League
TOP FIVE single-game performances
1) Jaylan Greaves (Canada) vs Mexico
10 receptions, 242 yards, 1 TD
That’s the biggest raw receiving line in the three-game book and a massive explosive-play performance in the highest-scoring game.
​
2) Chris Merchant (Canada) vs Mexico
11/17 passing, 208 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT
The interceptions hurt, but 3 passing TDs and explosive chunk plays in a 41–34 OT shootout loss make this one of the most impactful performances.
​
3) Michael O’Connor (Canada) vs Mexico
12/19 passing, 212 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Very efficient and highly productive in the same shootout; also delivered the book’s longest scoring play (75-yard TD to Greaves).
​
4) Jamel Lyles (Canada) vs Germany
124 yards from scrimmage, 2 TD
Plus a strong rushing load and multiple scoring plays in a GNC round-robin win. Big all-around impact.
​
5) Luke Zahradka (Italy) vs Canada
27/47 passing, 179 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT
In a tight 20–17 game, this was the strongest opposing QB performance in the GNC round-robin games and kept Italy live throughout.
