Chad Kelly exploded for 417 yards passing and DaVaris Daniels caught all six of his targets for 180 yards and three touchdowns as the Toronto Argonauts sailed past the Ottawa Redblacks 44-31, moving to 7-1 on the season.

It was a back and forth game early on, but Kelly and company were almost unstoppable in the second and third quarters before turning to the ground game to close it out.

Defensively, the stats may not look impressive, but the Argos forced Dustin Crum to check down all night and kept Ottawa’s running game from getting going.
