Toronto puts its unbeaten home record on the line Saturday afternoon against the B.C. Lions
. The Argos can cement a playoff berth – its first since winning the 2017 Grey Cup – with a fifth straight victory at BMO Field.
Bethel-Thompson will make a fifth straight start for Toronto but first as the team’s clear-cut No. 1 quarterback. Earlier this week, the club dealt youngster Nick Arbuckle to Edmonton. “We can’t turn the ball over, that’s No. 1,” Bethel-Thompson said. “You can’t win football games in the CFL turning the ball over.
B.C. comes in having lost four straight, including a lopsided 45-0 decision last week to Winnipeg. But the Lions are 3-0 this year, both on the road and versus East Division competition. Receiver Willie Whitehead returns to B.C.’s starting lineup after suffering a broken hand in a 30-9 loss to Winnipeg on Oct. 1. At the time of the injury Whitehead was leading the CFL in receiving with 36 catches for 665 yards and four TDs.
