Quick Hits
Kelly spread it around with four different receivers hitting at least 34 yards, and three of them found the end zone.
Hamilton actually out-gained Toronto on the ground and finished within 16 total yards, but the second-quarter hole was too deep to climb out of.
Gittens Jr. keeps stacking production for the Ticats — seven catches, 94 yards and two scores in a losing effort, and he's a must-add if he's still available in any fantasy pool.
