TORONTO — Both the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Toronto Argonauts came into Friday’s showdown looking to make it back-to-back wins but it would be the visiting Ticats who claimed the first QEW rivalry game of the season. Electric performances by Bo Levi Mitchell and Kenny Lawler fired Hamilton to a 51-38 victory at BMO Field, giving the Black and Gold a fourth straight result over Toronto.
There is nothing like summer CFL football. A storm of excitement with balls falling everywhere, but often in the endzone for scores. Now that’s entertainment.
Great game by the Ticats and Bo Levi Mitchell. It looks like the old Mitchell when he played in Calgary. Good to see he is succeeding again after a few bad years.
The only undefeated team left in the CFL are the Saskatchewan Roughriders, even with all their o-line and receiver injuries and Trevor Harris missing the last game. And they haven’t even come close to playing their best football yet. I’m optimistic.
Lawler showed why he is a star by making tough catches in tight coverage. BLM put the ball right on the money. Shows what a talented vet QB can do when he has time to throw the ball. But a word of caution Ticat fans. This Argo team was missing nine starters including their QB, MLB, Sam LB, two DEs, two DTs, two RBs. Argos still managed 38 points.
