Argos clinch playoff berth with victory over Elks

Toronto Argonauts secured a playoff berth with a 24-19 victory over Edmonton Elks on Saturday. Quarterback Chad Kelly guided the Argos to a 289-yard passing game, throwing two touchdowns and an interception. Vincent Blanchard contributed with four field goals and a conversion, while Tarvarus McFadden's crucial interception sealed the win with just 19 seconds left.

The Argonauts' 8-6 win marked their sixth playoff berth since 2017. Edmonton's Vincent Blanchard missed a 42-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter, keeping the game at 24-19. The Argos' defense also played a pivotal role, with Montrell Washington's 38-yard punt return and a penalty against an Argos coach setting up key scoring opportunities.
