TORONTO — Chad Kelly threw three touchdown passes and ran for another as the Toronto Argonauts held on for a 38-31 win over the Ottawa Redblacks to clinch a home playoff game on Saturday afternoon.
Toronto clinched second in the East Division with its third straight win. The Argos will face Ottawa in the opening round of the CFL playoffs Nov. 2 at BMO Field.
Ottawa starter Dru Brown completed 23-of-31 passes for 400 yards with four TDs and an interception. He hit Bralon Addison on a 32-yard scoring strike at 2:30 of the fourth to cut Toronto's lead to 38-12 but the two-point convert was unsuccessful. Toronto's Daniel Adeboboye recovered the ensuing onside kick at the Ottawa 42. The Argos failed to get a first down but punted, where the Redblacks took possession at their 12-yard line with 30 seconds to play.
Brown's seven-yard TD pass to Addison at 12:23 of the second cut Toronto's halftime lead to 28-6. Addison put the finishing touches on a five-play, 75-yard march but Benji Franklin blocked Ward's convert try.
