The Toronto Argonauts returned home with the biggest prize in Canadian football Monday evening after their dramatic victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 109th Grey Cup game in Regina on Sunday.
The Argos went into Sunday’s game as underdogs against the two-time defending champion Blue Bombers but the game was close in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter.
“What a crazy turn of events, right,” said backup quarterback Chad Kelly, who replaced Argos starter McLeod Bethel-Thompson after he dislocated his thumb early in the fourth quarter, when Toronto was trailing 23-17. The 33-year-old linebacker who grew up in Mississauga also said he wouldn’t be the man he is today if not for the game of football and the opportunities it’s given him.
Dinwiddie says he wants his team to enjoy the victory, but he’s already got his sights set on winning another Grey Cup next season.
