Overview

The Toronto Argonauts wrap up their 2025 campaign Saturday night at McMahon Stadium against the Calgary Stampeders in the final game of Week 20. Toronto enters with a 5-12 record and has been eliminated from playoff contention, while Calgary sits at 9-7 and remains in contention in the competitive West Division race.

The Argonauts are looking to avoid a four-game losing streak to close out what has been a disappointing season. Calgary defeated Toronto 29-19 in their only previous meeting back in Week 2 and needs wins down the stretch as they chase their first double-digit win season since 2022.

Key Players

Kevin Mital (WR) – The Canadian receiver leads Toronto with 91 receptions for 804 yards and four touchdowns. Mital needs just eight catches to become the seventh Canadian to reach 100 receptions in a single season, joining an elite group that includes Brad Sinopoli, Andrew Harris, and Ben Cahoon.

Dejon Brissett (WR) – Brissett has established new career-highs across the board with 62 catches for 887 yards and three touchdowns on 81 targets. He sits 113 yards away from the 1,000-yard milestone.

Jake Herslow (WR) – The receiver has been a reliable red zone threat with 52 catches for 664 yards and a team-leading nine touchdowns.

Damonte Coxie (WR) – Coxie has recorded 48 receptions for 854 yards and six touchdowns, providing another dangerous receiving option.

Keys to the Game

End on a High – Despite missing the playoffs, Toronto has an opportunity to finish the season with momentum. With Calgary fighting for playoff positioning, the Argonauts can play spoiler and build confidence heading into the off-season.

Keeping Points off the Board – Toronto ranks sixth in net yards surrendered at 363.8 per game but last in points allowed with 539 total. The secondary has surrendered consecutive 300-plus passing yard performances, and defensive backs Benjie Franklin, Tarvarus McFadden, and Derek Slywka must limit Vernon Adams Jr. and Calgary’s aerial attack.

Milestones Can Be a Motivator – Both Brissett and Mital are within reach of significant statistical achievements. Getting the ball to these playmakers could provide extra motivation regardless of who lines up under center for Toronto.
