Chad Kelly threw four TD passes and Javon Leake returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown to power the Toronto Argonauts to a wild 44-31 win over the Ottawa Redblacks on a breezy Sunday night.
Toronto entered its third and final bye week on a winning note. The Argos were coming off their first loss of the year, a 20-7 decision in Calgary, and played at BMO Field for the first time since a 45-24 victory over the B.C. Lions on July 3.
The contest was played in a consistent 28-kilometre-an-hour breeze that gusted to 41 km-h. But that didn't bother either offence as both scored going into the wind. Leake put Toronto ahead 34-24 at 3:01 of the third quarter. After breaking Ottawa's contain, Leake reversed his field and angled toward the end zone, just making it inside the pylon before being tackled.
Justin Hardy and Cariel Brooks had Ottawa's other touchdowns. Lewis Ward kicked four converts and a field goal.
