Chad Kelly throws three TD passes as Argos earn 39-20 wild weather win over Ticats

Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly led his team to a 39-20 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a rain-soaked match on Saturday night. Kelly's three touchdown passes and a rushing score proved decisive in the game. The Argos extended their season series with Hamilton to 1-1. Kelly's 26-of-34 passing for 289 yards and an interception showcased his exceptional performance.

Rookie Isaiah Smith contributed 99 rushing yards on 15 carries. Hamilton's quarterback, Tre Ford, completed 19-of-32 passes for 356 yards. The game's weather delay began one hour and seven minutes later than scheduled. The stadium's speakers played AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" as both teams warmed up. Following a rain-soaked first quarter, Kelly extended Toronto's lead to 32-20 with a one-yard touchdown run and a 27-yard TD pass to Damonte Coxie.
