Saskatchewan Roughriders

The Toronto Argonauts battled back late, thanks to big plays from their defense, to top the Roughriders 30-24, and win the 2022 version of Touchdown ...

But the drive would stall when a deep shot to Brandon Banks into the end zone would fall incomplete. On second down, The Argos would misfire on a possible pass completion down the field. But a late hit by Shane Ray and an assortment of misconduct penalties would give the Riders a first down at midfield. Toronto’s defense would force a quick two and out on Saskatchewan’s first offensive series of the second half. But as they neared the green zone, a second bad snap by Justin Lawrence that sailed over the head of Bethel-Thompson would lead to Toronto settling for a 41-yard field goal by Boris Bede to extend their lead to 20-14. The Argos would get all the way down to Saskatchewan’s 5-yard line after four first-down completions by MBT. But with only 8 seconds left, Toronto would fail to get in the end zone, and they would settle for a 12-yard field goal to take a 17-14 advantage into the second half. However, on the next play, McLeod would find a wide-open Cam Phillips on a busted coverage for a 40-yard major. Five plays later, Cody Fajardo would scramble and find a leaping Jamal Morrow in the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown. A Phillip Blake roughness penalty would lead to a second and 25. The Riders’ drive would stall, and they would settle for another Brett Lauther field goal to even the score at 7. Thanks to two big pass completions and a 15-yard run by McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Saskatchewan penalties would also help aid the drive. However, thanks to a Shawn Oakman sack, Toronto’s defense stiffened and held the Riders to a field goal attempt.

Morrow, the league’s leading rusher, had 77 yards on 11 carries, one of which was a 51-yarder. Saskatchewan opened the possession with two first downs before Fajardo was sacked and was then intercepted by Richardson. The Argos had a chance to tie the game when Bede lined up for 42-yard field goal attempt. McManis soon bailed out Bede with the pick-six. The secondary was then shuffled, with safety Mike Edem moving to Milligan’s accustomed halfback spot and rookie Jayden Dalke being elevated to a front-line role at safety. As well, future Hall of Fame defensive end Charleston Hughes was a healthy scratch. Niether Williams or Richardson were made available to the media. I can’t see him jeopardizing getting ejected from the game because that would be a huge loss for us.” “You can’t spit into a man’s face,” Dinwiddie said. Fans arrived early for the party, taking advantage of the tailgating along with the adult and family fun zones. “It’s unfortunate to throw a pick-six when you’re up (two),” Fajardo said.
