VANCOUVER –
The 111th Gray Cup has kicked off at B.C. Place Stadium with the Toronto Argonauts dealing with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Bombers completed the common season atop the West Division with an 11-7 file and topped the Saskatchewan Roughriders within the western ultimate to earn a berth within the CFL’s championship sport for the fifth 12 months in a row.
The Argos went 10-8 in regular-season play and received playoff video games over each the Ottawa Redblacks and league-leading Montreal Alouettes to get into the Gray Cup.
Beating Montreal got here at a price, although, as Toronto’s beginning quarterback Chad Kelly broke his ankle and needed to bear surgical procedure.
He was changed within the lineup Sunday by Nick Arbuckle, a 31-year-old American set to make his first Gray Cup begin.
Toronto final hoisted the CFL’s most-prized trophy in 2022 whereas Winnipeg is in search of its first championship title since 2021.
