TORONTO \u2013 The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were ready to play in Week 18 after an eyebrow-raising defeat in Winnipeg the week prior. A 47-29 win on the road over their local rival means that they have claimed the regular season series and that Toronto\u2019s playoff hopes have been dashed.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s quarterbacks were under duress throughout the contest, as a sack on Arbuckle knocked him out of the game early, bringing backup Jarret Doege<\/a> onto the field. On the other side, Kenny Lawler<\/a> rediscovered his scoring touch, showing off his chemistry with Bo Levi Mitchell<\/a> yet again.<\/p>\n

CFL.ca brings you three key stats from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats\u2019 win over the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 KENNY LAWLER TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

After a one-game absence from the end zone, Lawler is back.<\/p>\n

An early five-yard grab by Lawler was the game\u2019s first touchdown as Hamilton jumped out to a 17-3 lead after the first quarter. Then, with the Argos gaining momentum after a positive third quarter, Lawler returned to the end zone with a 34-yard score to settle things down for his team and make it 13 receiving touchdowns on the year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 STAVROS KATSANTONIS INTERCEPTIONS<\/p>\n

Hamilton safety Stavros Katsantonis<\/a> had a game to remember on Saturday. He collected three interceptions off of Doege as part of an impressive overall defensive display from the Tabbies.<\/p>\n

Katsantonis made a nice diving catch to haul in his first takeaway of the afternoon in the second quarter after the football took a couple of deflections. In the fourth quarter, Katsantonis picked off Doege again as he looked for Kevin Mital<\/a> in the middle of the field, leading to a Hamilton field goal. And then for good measure, Katsantonis added one more pick to the box score on the Argos\u2019 penultimate possession.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 JULIAN HOWSARE SACKS<\/p>\n

The story of the day at BMO Field was the unrelenting pass rush of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It was an early strip sack by Philip Ossai<\/a> which knocked Arbuckle out of the game and from there, the Tabbies\u2019 defensive line only continued to penetrate.<\/p>\n

Julian Howsare<\/a> accounted for four of his team\u2019s eight sacks and also recovered the football on Ossai\u2019s early takedown. His third sack of the day came on the play before the fourth-quarter safety by Ossai which essentially sealed the game for the visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2013 The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were ready to play in Week 18 after an eyebrow-raising defeat in Winnipeg…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-190377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-football-league","11":"tag-canadianfootballleague","12":"tag-cfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
