Owens' last-minute grab propels Argos to win over RedBlacks, tie for 1st place
Chad Owens made a thrilling one-handed touchdown catch late in the game to give the Toronto Argonauts a 38-35 victory over the Ottawa RedBlacks at TD Place on Tuesday.
With the win, the Argonauts moved into a three-way tie for first place, alongside Ottawa and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Toronto quarterback Trevor Harris was the star, going 32-for-44 with 397 passing yards, five touchdown passes - to five different receivers - and two interceptions.
Aside from the loss, the RedBlacks suffered a scare when veteran quarterback Henry Burris left the game at the end of the fourth quarter, favoring his throwing arm.
Burris was coming off a career game where he passed for 504 yards and set a new league record for most single-game completions with 46. On Tuesday, he completed 27 passes for 250 yards, two scores, and a pick.
Next up, the Argonauts will turn it around quickly and travel to Montreal on Monday, while the RedBlacks get some time off before hosting Winnipeg on Oct. 16.
