Kelly directs Argos to 32-14 win over Tiger-Cats

The Argos opened their 150th anniversary CFL season with a banner-raising ceremony to toast their 18th Grey Cup championship before their dominant outing against the rival Ticats before 15,967 at BMO Field.Kelly, the 29-year-old nephew of Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, was the Argos' backup last year. But he won the starting job this year with McLeod Bethel-Thompson now playing for the USFL's New Orleans Breakers.

The teams traded fourth-quarter touchdowns. Toronto veteran Andrew Harris scored on a 10-yard run with 6:08 remaining in the fourth quarter for the lone score of the second half. With less than two minutes to go, Schiltz hit Tyler Ternowski for an eight-yard strike.After an early 61-yard single from Argos punter John Haggerty, Toronto received a break with a Qwan'Tez Stiggers end-zone interception.

Toronto marched down to make it 8-0 with a seven-yard scamper from Kelly. The touchdown drive was aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty from Ticats lineman Mason Bennett and a Kelly to DaVaris Daniels 17-yard connection over the middle with 1:52 remaining in the first quarter. Kelly finished an 11-play, 93-yard drive with a one-year plunge for a 15-6 advantage. Again, the Argos were helped by a Hamilton major foul. Mohamed Diallo was nabbed roughing the passer at Hamilton's 23-yard line.
