The Redblacks, who have reached the post-season for the first time since 2018, have lost five straight. Ottawa got the ball at the Toronto 42 with 11:58 remaining after James Pierre recovered Janarion Grant's fumbled kickoff return. But on the next play, Tavarus McFadden intercepted Brown at the Argos' five-yard line before a season-high BMO Field gathering of 20,487.Brown hit rookie Nick Mardner with a six-yard TD pass at 12:21 then found Justin Hardy on the two-point convert.
Ottawa had a last gasp from its 37 with two seconds to play. Brown completed his final pass, leading to a series of laterals before offensive lineman Dariusz Bladek was tackled. Still, the Redblacks outscored Toronto 25-0 in the fourth. Toronto was dominant to that point, scoring touchdowns on its first four possessions. Kelly completed his first 12 passes for 238 yards and two TDs while also running for another before finishing the half with three straight incompletions.
