Chad Kelly outdueled a huge Winnipeg rushing attack with 290 yards and two touchdowns to steal a road win.
The Toronto Argonauts got outgained by more than 100 yards and still found a way to leave Winnipeg with a 30-28 win, improving to 9-6 and keeping pace in a crowded West-East playoff picture. The Blue Bombers drop to 7-7 after blowing a 14-7 first-quarter lead and watching Toronto claw back with a 9-point fourth. It's the kind of loss that stings — Winnipeg piled up 232 rushing yards and still couldn't close it out.
