The Toronto Argonauts moved into first place by a half-game in the CFL's East Division on Friday with a 27-20 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Argos trailed 20-14 early in the fourth quarter before scoring 13 unanswered points - one touchdown on an A.J. Jefferson 70-yard punt return, and another on a five-yard toss from Trevor Harris to Tori Gurley with under five minutes remaining.
Harris finished the night 18-for-24 with two touchdown passes. Chad Kackert made his return to the Toronto lineup for the first time since a devastating 2013 injury, rushing for 73 yards on 12 carries. The victory was the Argos' second in a row.
With the loss, Winnipeg drops to 3-5 and stays in fourth place in the West.
