Quarterback Chad Kelly tossed four touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Toronto Argonauts to a 58-38 win against the Ottawa Redblacks in the East Division semi-final on Saturday.
TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts have their rematch with the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes.
"We know we're going to get their best shot," Kelly said."We got to be ready for whatever they throw at us and be ready to go." The two teams 96-points combined output tied a playoff record, set when the Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2011 East Division semifinal. But then they botched the ensuing kickoff, trying to boot a squib quick down the middle of the field. Richie Leone's kick hit the Argonauts front wall. Kerfalla Exume fell on the ball with three seconds remaining.
On the Argonauts' next drive, Kelly found Makai Polk for a 57-yard bomb. Three plays later, Kelly scampered in for a 15-yard score. Kelly's fourth touchdown toss, a 13-yard completion to Jake Herslow, arrived 2:56 into the fourth quarter.
