37:24 to 22:36 – TIME OF POSSESSION
The Boatmen held the ball for the majority of the game, ending with almost a full quarter of possession ahead of Ottawa.
That’s due to a 16-of-25 second down conversion and only one giveaway, a fumble by returner Janarion Grant late in the game.
12.7 – PASSING YARDS PER ATTEMPT
Toronto’s passing game was efficient all afternoon as Chad Kelly finished with 331 yards and three majors.
Receiver Makai Polk led the way for the receivers, catching three passes for 104 yards and a touchdown. Veteran Dejon Brissett added two more majors as the Double Blue moved the ball at will through the air.
3 to 1 – TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL
The Argos not only took good care of the football on offence but also forced the visitors into a couple of mistakes. Quarterback Dru Brown threw four touchdown passes but also launched a fourth-quarter interception that ended up shifting momentum back to the home team.
Toronto also forced a fumble that led to a score and a turnover on downs late in the game that ended up being the difference in a one-score game.
