MONTREAL — The Toronto Argonauts got their revenge on the Montreal Alouettes, but lost their starting quarterback in the process.
Damonte Coxie made five receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown as the Argonauts defeated the defending Grey Cup champions 30-28 in the CFL’s East Division final on Saturday.
Montreal’s Cody Fajardo went 27-for-42 for 330 yards and three TDs, but also committed one fumble and two interceptions — including on a possible game-tying conversion late in the fourth quarter. The 111th Grey Cup is at BC Place in Vancouver on Nov. 17. The Argos would face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or Saskatchewan Roughriders, who met in the West final later Saturday.Janarion Grant returned a punt 71 yards for a Toronto TD. Then Cole Spieker’s fumble — Montreal’s third of the half — was recovered by the Argos with 35 seconds on the clock.
Ka’Deem Carey rushed 49 yards to set up another Argonauts field goal, but not before Kelly’s injury on a rush with 54 seconds left in the third quarter. Toronto's players kneeled in disbelief around their QB before he was carted off. The Alouettes reached the red zone twice early but failed to score on both occasions with two fumbles, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
