2 \u2013 IMPORTANT KICKS MISSED BY TORONTO<\/p>\n

Football games are rarely decided by a single play, but two missed kicks loomed large for the Argonauts.<\/p>\n

After Nick Arbuckle\u2019s one-yard touchdown run cut Hamilton\u2019s lead to one point in the fourth quarter, Lirim Hajrullahu<\/a>\u2018s convert was unsuccessful, keeping the Tiger-Cats in front. Toronto still had one final opportunity to steal the win, but Hajrullahu\u2019s 31-yard field goal attempt as time expired drifted wide.<\/p>\n

The veteran kicker has been one of the CFL\u2019s most reliable specialists throughout his career, but on Saturday, the margins simply favoured Hamilton.<\/p>\n

109 \u2013 RUSHING YARDS BY TRE FORD<\/p>\n

Tre Ford<\/a>\u2018s mobility proved to be one of Hamilton\u2019s biggest weapons.<\/p>\n

The quarterback made his first start of the season and rushed for 109 yards, repeatedly extending drives with his legs and turning broken plays into first downs. Whether escaping pressure or finding running lanes when the pocket collapsed, Ford consistently put the Argonauts\u2019 defence in difficult situations.<\/p>\n

His athleticism helped sustain multiple scoring drives, including Hamilton\u2019s late second-quarter touchdown march that gave the Tiger-Cats the lead heading into halftime.<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 INTERCEPTION BY JAMAL PETERS<\/p>\n

Momentum swung in Hamilton\u2019s favour when Jamal Peters<\/a> came away with the game\u2019s lone interception.<\/p>\n

The former Argonaut picked off Chad Kelly<\/a> in the third quarter, halting a promising Toronto drive and giving the Tiger-Cats excellent field position. Hamilton took full advantage, marching down the field before Jake Dolegala<\/a> finished the drive with a one-yard touchdown run.<\/p>\n

In a game decided by a single point, Peters\u2019 takeaway, and Hamilton\u2019s ability to turn it into seven points, proved to be one of the biggest moments of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner, World Vision Canada works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194291],"tags":[49,48,3302],"class_list":["post-811483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811483","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=811483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
