After managing just 34 yards on the ground in a sloppy season opener, Toronto must counter Calgary’s dynamic rushing attack led by Dedrick Mills.

Overview

  • The Argonauts host Calgary at BMO Field on Saturday in their home opener, looking to avoid an 0-2 start after a 28-10 loss to Montreal.
  • Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie described last week’s performance as “sloppy” and singled out the offence’s execution woes, particularly the failure to establish the run.
  • The Stampeders enter 1-0 after a 38-26 victory over Hamilton, powered by Dedrick Mills’s 94 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
  • Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. passed for 284 yards but threw two interceptions, and Calgary’s kickoff coverage remains under scrutiny after allowing 233 return yards.
  • Toronto’s 16-2 home record over the past two seasons will be tested by a Calgary squad that rebounded from the CFL’s worst record in 2024.
