Dru Brown picked apart Toronto's secondary and Winnipeg held on late for a 30-21 win.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers improve to 3-2 with a home win over the Toronto Argonauts, who drop to 2-3 and now sit outside the top of a crowded East race. Winnipeg jumped out early and never trailed, weathering a strong second half from Toronto's passing game to close it out at Princess Auto Stadium.

Quick Hits
Ontaria Wilson caught 10 balls for 133 yards, the kind of workload that kept Toronto's defense on the field all night.
Willie Jefferson had himself a game with 2 sacks, and the Bombers' front seven held Toronto's run game to just 47 yards on 9 carries.
Toronto didn't turn the ball over once but still lost — Kelly threw for 320 and two scores and it wasn't enough against a Winnipeg offense that piled up 419 total yards.
