There was plenty of drama surrounding the 104th Grey Cup before the game even kicked off.
Ottawa RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris injured his knee during warmups, and after some debate as to whether Trevor Harris would be called into action, the 41-year-old came back onto the field in time to face the Calgary Stampeders.
Harris came out for the coin toss, but, Burris raced back to the sideline just prior to kickoff and gave a thumbs up to the Ottawa medial staff.
Burris reclaimed the starting job from Harris in October after throwing for more than 300 yards in each of his final three games.
