Chad Kelly threw for two touchdowns and the Toronto Argonauts ground down the BC Lions 26-12 on the road.
The Toronto Argonauts got off to a fast start and never let go, building a 17-6 halftime cushion before cruising home at BC Place. The BC Lions never found the end zone all game, and that’s become a theme for a team that just can’t finish drives. QB Chad Kelly exited the first half of the game with a neck injury and did not return. Toronto improves to 3-4, while BC drops to a rough 1-5 with the loss.
