Fajardo’s late TD run earns Argos wild East final win over Riders
TORONTO — It was vintage Ricky Ray.
After struggling for three-plus quarters, Ray rallied Toronto to a wild 25-21 East Division victory over Saskatchewan on Sunday afternoon. With the Argonauts trailing 21-18 and going against a stiff 54 kilometre-an-hour wind, Ray marched his offence 67 yards to the Roughriders’ one-yard line, setting up Cody Fajardo’s winning one-yard TD run with 23 seconds left.
“To be put in that situation and see the guys go out and execute really well . . . and go down and score, it feels awesome right now,” Ray said. “It feels really awesome.
“They (game-winning drives) are all special but just being in this moment right now, man, with everything that was on the line, this one feels pretty good.”
