Argonauts Beat Roughriders 40-34 in Regina as Kelly Drives Offence

A high-yardage Toronto offence met a Saskatchewan defence that has yet to recover its turnover form.

Overview

  • Toronto defeated Saskatchewan 40-34 in Regina on Friday in a game designated as a Toronto home match moved because Mosaic Stadium is hosting World Cup fixtures.
  • Chad Kelly completed 23 of 30 passes for 321 yards, threw two touchdown passes and added a rushing touchdown as he continued a season of big yardage and earlier interceptions.
  • Saskatchewan entered the game expecting to exploit Kelly’s aggressive downfield passing and to force turnovers after producing only one takeaway in its first two games.
  • Riders starting tailback A. J. Ouellette was sidelined by an ankle injury and rookie Quali Conley started and scored his first CFL touchdown on a 17-yard run.
  • The game drew an announced crowd of 25,035 and was the first of three Toronto home games moved to alternate venues before the Argos return to BMO Field in August.
