Toronto Argonauts ride dominant fourth quarter to win 111th Grey Cup

The GIST: The Toronto Argonauts are dancin’ on top of cars after winning the 111th Grey Cup last night, outlasting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to secure a 41–24 victory. Drop the confetti because we’re suckers for a championship-winning squad.

Argos win league-best 19th Grey Cup: Toronto was playing with their backup quarterback (QB), but signal caller (and championship MVP) Nick Arbuckle was more than up to the challenge, tossing two touchdowns (TDs) and 252 yards to add to the Argos’ record-extending title haul.

• While it was a back-and-forth affair heading into the fourth quarter, Toronto dominated the final frame, posting a Grey Cup record 24 points.

• The offense did their part to hoist the hardware, but it was the defense who took the wind out of Winnipeg’s sails, intercepting Bombers QB Zach Collaros four times in the second half, including the second-longest pick-six in Grey Cup history.

Bombers drop the ball…again in the ’ship: Yesterday marked the fifth straight season Winnipeg’s competed on the CFL’s biggest stage, a remarkable achievement. But after winning it all in 2019 and 2021, they’ve lost in the last three editions of the Grey Cup, including two title losses to the Argos in three years. Oof.
