Boris Bede kicked a 32-yard field goal with 37 seconds left in the fourth quarter as the TorontoArgos opened their season with a 23-20 win over the calstampeders.
Bede finished with two field goals and a single for the Argonauts , while quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw TD passes to Juwan Brescacin and Kurleigh Gittens Jr.
Playing in his 10th CFL season, all with the Stampeders , Rene Paredes kicked four field goals to give him 400 for his career. Mitchell and the Stamps responded with a lengthy 17-play, 72-yard drive of their own that stalled on Toronto's 13-yard line. Parades then kicked a 20-yard field goal to give the Stamps their first points of the game.
After the Argos went two-and-out, Calgary's Charlie Moore blocked Bede's punt and then recovered it on Toronto's 19-yard line. Despite the great play by the rookie linebacker and special team's player, the Stamps had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Paredes. Ricky Collins Jr. appeared to be on his way into the end zone for a lengthy touchdown for the Argos until Calgary's DaShaun Amos chased him down from behind and knocked the ball out of his hands.
