Argos defensive back Parker sets CFL interception return yards record

This is becoming a CFL season to remember for defensive back Byron Parker of the Toronto Argonauts.

Parker returned an interception 75 yards for a touchdown in Toronto's 28-25 road victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. The interception was Parker's sixth of the year and marked the fourth time he had taken one back for a touchdown.

But the return gave him a league-record 342 yards this season, breaking the previous mark of 300 yards set in 2003 by Eric Carter of the B.C. Lions.
