Welcome to Overreaction Monday, where we look back on the previous week’s action and root out some angles that could be prone to hot takes that might be a tad over the top. Either from fans and the media in general or, maybe just specifically me.

Then, I’ll render a verdict as to whether I think it’s an “overreaction”, a “fair” assessment, or if it’s “too soon to tell.”

This week, a new front-runner in the MOP battle?

And the BC Lions defence solves all its problems.

IT’S A LOT TO OVERCOME

As well as Bo Levi Mitchell has played over the course of his career, I don’t think he’s ever been as good as he has been to start this season.

And so, in the wake of him being carted off the field and taken away in an ambulance on Sunday night, I say something to the football gods that I have said previously under similar circumstances: Bite me.

We don’t have official word on Mitchell’s injury as I write this, but it is not hard to imagine that he will be out long-term, quite a blow to the Ticats.

“It’s too much to have to overcome.”

THE VERDICT: Too soon to tell. Much to soon.
