The past two weeks haven’t been easy for the Toronto Argonauts.
First, there was the narrow loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Then the team dropped a decision to the Ottawa Redblacks.
On Friday, though, the Argos (7-6) halted their two-game slide in decisive fashion, downing the B.C. Lions 33-17 in Vancouver.
“Toronto’s performance built on those recent losses,” said head coach Ryan Dinwiddie.
“We haven’t executed very well the last few weeks, but we fought hard, right? And we fought toward the end, we played a full 60 with the effort, and that execution wasn’t always great,” he added.
“So (tonight’s) a big win for our locker room. Those guys stuck together. We had our backs against the wall, and they had their best performance.”
Argos quarterback Chad Kelly connected on 18-of-28 pass attempts for 268 yards, including a touchdown, and added a rushing major.
