The Hamilton Tiger-Cats battled through a weather delay and took a halftime lead, but the Toronto Argonauts surged in the second half to secure a 39-20 victory. Chad Kelly's performance highlighted Toronto's offense, including two touchdown passes to Damonte Coxie, who totaled 75 receiving yards. After a strong start by Hamilton, their offense stalled, failing to score in the second half as Toronto's defense dominated with four sacks. The Ticats now shift focus to next week's matchup against Calgary, hoping to rebound from this loss.

By the Numbers
  • Chad Kelly completed 26 of 34 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and one rushing touchdown.
  • Hamilton's Tre Ford recorded 19 completions for 356 passing yards and 33 rushing yards.
State of Play
  • After leading at halftime, Hamilton was unable to maintain momentum, leading to a complete collapse in the second half.

What's Next

The Tiger-Cats will face the Calgary Stampeders next week, needing a win to break a three-game losing streak against them. Meanwhile, the Argonauts aim to continue their strong performance against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Bottom Line

The outcome underscores the importance of both offensive efficiency and defensive strength, as the Tiger-Cats must regroup and address their scoring issues ahead of critical rematches.
