Ottawa Redblacks wide receiver Diontae Spencer set a new record for all-purpose yards in a game in Friday night's 41-36 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Spencer's total of 496 broke the previous record of 474 set by Albert Johnson in 2000. 

Following their win, Spencer gave full credit to his teammates for his record-setting night. 

"My teammates, man. It's because of them," Spencer told TSN's Matthew Scianitti after the game. 

"They blocked, and they gave me alleyways for these plays to happen. I just want to thank my teammates." 

So far this season, Spencer has 71 catches for 922 yards and six touchdowns. The 25-year-old was a member of the Toronto Argonauts the previous two seasons.   

With the win, the Redblacks (8-9-1) move into first place in the East Division.
