If the Toronto Argonauts are going to grab their first win at BMO Field, they'll need to slow down the Ottawa RedBlacks duo of Chris Williams and Trevor Harris.

The quarterback and receiver have found instant chemistry since Henry Burris injured his finger, Harris has thrown for 687 yards, completing 37 of 45 and tossing six touchdowns. Williams caught 10 passes for 130 yards and three touchdowns last week in a 26-26 tie against Calgary.

Meanwhile, the Argonauts are seeking a third consecutive win, after dropping the season opener to Hamilton. The Argos handed the BC Lions their first loss of the season with a balanced offensive attack and a defense that shut down the Lions, forcing four turnovers.

Toronto's offense was led by the quartet of quarterback Ricky Ray, Brandon Whitaker, Tori Gurley, and kicker Lirim Hajrullahu, who connected on six of seven field-goal attempts.

The Argonauts have won four of the five meetings since Ottawa returned to the CFL as the RedBlacks in 2014.
