Argonauts clinch playoff berth by crushing Redblacks in Ottawa - TSN.ca

OTTAWA — A playoff berth was on the line Saturday for the Toronto Argonauts, and they claimed it with authority.

“We just want to get in and potentially get a chance to play for a Grey Cup. One of our goals got accomplished tonight.” Evans started the second half in relief of Nick Arbuckle. Evans threw three picks before Arbuckle came back in late in the game and got a meaningless one-yard score with three minutes left. The two-point conversion was unsuccessful.“It was a tough way to lose, especially with the position that we’re in where we really need to win some games and we can’t afford to drop that many,” Arbuckle said.

Redblacks kicker Lewis Ward opened the quarter with a 35-yard field goal five minutes in. Bede tried to get those points back but missed a 50-yard attempt. DeVonte Dedmon attempted to bring the ball out of the end zone but had the ball stripped and the Argos recovered inside the Ottawa 10-yard line.After a scoreless first quarter that produced only seven combined first downs, things started well for the Redblacks in the second quarter.

“We put the ball in some dangerous spots with some throws. I know one was a miscommunication, sometimes it’s just a poor located pass. I know one of the pick-six was off target a little bit and they made a response on it,” Redblacks coach Paul LaPolice said.
