Trevor Harris and the ground game got just enough offense to outlast a huge night from Chad Kelly.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders survived at home, beating the Toronto Argonauts 28-24 despite getting outgained through the air. Saskatchewan improves to 7-4 and stays in the thick of the West Division race, while Toronto drops to 5-6 and continues to tread water in a crowded middle tier of the league.

Quick Hits
Kelly threw for 416 yards and three scores but the two picks — one snagged by Nelson Lokombo, the other by James Burgess Jr. — swung the game Saskatchewan's way.
The Riders leaned on the ground game all night, piling up 124 yards on 24 carries compared to Toronto's anemic 15 yards on just 4 attempts.
Damonte Coxie's 146 yards came on just five catches, a monster per-catch average that fantasy managers should be circling for next week.

Toronto Argonauts (5-6) — travel to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on September 7.
