Argonauts fall to Calgary Stampeders as offence disappears in second half
They had two drives in the third quarter that looked promising, only to come up short because of a lack of execution.
But it would be the passing game that ultimately sunk the Argos on this night. Their nine-point lead was abruptly sliced into when Bethel-Thompson let fly with one of the worst passes he’s ever thrown, which is saying a lot. The ball sailed down the middle over its intended receiver and right into the hands of Stamps safety Elie Bouka, who returned the errant pass 62 yards for a touchdown.
Schematically, the season-ending pec injury to Andrew Harris made the Argos much more dependent on the pass.Advertisement 5By the break, the Argos were leading 16-10, but it could have been more. Toronto’s leading rusher was Chad Kelly, MBT’s backup and short-yardage QB scored his second rushing major in as many weeks after Leake had taken the ball down to the Calgary one in the second quarter.
