Xs and Argos Podcast: pick sixes, circus catches, huge returns, and a blocked punt as Toronto beats Edmonton in a wild one

It was a tight first half, a Toronto-dominated third quarter, and a fourth quarter that bounced the Edmonton’s way in one of the strangest CFL games since, well, Saturday.

The Argos’ defence tallied six sacks, recovered two fumbles and returned an interception for a touchdown. Chad Kelly threw a pick-six of his own and made some mistakes, but also had one of the highlights of the year, while David Ungerer and Dejon Brissett both played very well with Kurleigh Gittens Jr. out of the lineup due to injury.
