After storms in the area delayed kickoff by an hour, Kelly and the Argos offence wasted no time getting on the board. On play action, Toronto\u2019s pivot rolled to his right and dropped a 35-yard touchdown pass to Coxie for the game\u2019s first score. On the other side Hamilton stuttered out of the gates with three consecutive two-and-outs to start the game.<\/p>\n
A pair of Hamilton touchdowns put the away team up by two at halftime but the Argos got right back on top after the intermission. Kelly fired a 12-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Mital<\/a> to cap off a 10-play scoring drive and Brady Lidster<\/a> added a field goal as the Argos began to turn the screw.<\/p>\n A missed field goal attempt by Lidster gave Hamilton life as they trailed by five with nine minutes to go but the Argos responded by creating their first turnover through a Shawn Lemon<\/a> strip sack on Ford, one of Lemon\u2019s two takedowns in the ballgame. That takeaway led to Coxie\u2019s second major of the night as Toronto took control midway through the fourth.<\/p>\n Kelly finished 26-34 with 289 passing yards, three touchdown passes, one interception, and one rushing major. Coxied had four catches for 75 yards to go with his two scores while Tyler Kahmann<\/a> made seven catches for 74 yards. Rookie Isaiah Smith recorded 99 rushing yards on 15 attempts.<\/p>\n Hamilton head coach Scott Milanovich turned back to Tre Ford<\/a> after the Canadian quarterback\u2019s impressive relief performance in the Tabbies\u2019 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders last week. Ford had his moments on Saturday but was under duress from the Toronto pass rush on a few occasions. Ford finished with 19 completions and 356 passing yards and 33 rushing yards. Some big passing plays helped Kiondre Smith and Keric Wheatfall<\/a> surpass 100 receiving yards.<\/p>\n Stavros Katsantonis<\/a> made a diving interception on Kelly in the second quarter to make it five picks on the season for Hamilton\u2019s star safety and six interceptions in three games for Toronto\u2019s pivot.<\/p>\n RELATED SCORING PLAYS<\/p>\n Chad Kelly<\/a> 35-yard touchdown pass to Damonte Coxie<\/a> (10:44, Q1) | TOR 6, HAM 0 \u00a0<\/p>\n NEXT UP<\/p>\n The Tiger-Cats will look to bounce back in Week 13 when they visit the Calgary Stampeders at McMahon Stadium on Saturday, August 29.
