Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly throws during CFL action against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the annual Labour Day Classic in Hamilton, Ont. on Monday,HAMILTON — Chad Kelly understood it wasn’t just another football game.

Kelly is the difference maker. And the Argos are making a mockery of the East Division. He didn’t play all that well — he didn’t have to — as the 9-1 Argos dismantled the Tiger-Cats for the third time this season. They scored 41 points and at times struggled on offence. They scored 41 points and Kelly threw two interceptions — passes he forced to areas that shouldn’t have been thrown. They scored 41 points and with a great day from Kelly, it might have been 51 for the Argos. Maybe more.

Kelly, the not so young second-year CFL quarterback, did just enough to have the Argos leading 17-4 at the half, 24-13 at the end of three quarters and in the final 15 minutes, stocky running back A.J. Ouellette, who was wearing down Hamilton on the ground, threw a touchdown pass on his own.The game was close for maybe a minute, maybe two. But what was unusual and tells you something about this Argos team was how the club left the field at the end of the game.

Partly because most of the Hamilton fans cleared out by midway through the fourth quarter and partly because the chants could have been rotated by the quality of play of those involved: It is now “Ticats Suck” because they do and the separation between the two teams in Southern Ontario has grown wider in this one-sided season. “We feel we haven’t played our best football,” said Dinwiddie. “We don’t talk playoffs . We don’t talk Grey Cup.
