Toronto Argonauts face very difficult task in Calgary facing the Stampeders
The Toronto Argonauts have found themselves in a most unenviable position.
The Argonauts (3-9) entered Week 16 of the CFL season third in the East Division, a whopping 10 points behind first-place Ottawa and trailing second-place Hamilton by six points.
Toronto is also three wins behind both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-7) and B.C. Lions (6-6) in the cross-over scenario. And if that wasn’t enough, the Argos have lost three straight as they head to Calgary to visit the Stampeders (10-2), who are not only coming off a bye week but are a stellar 6-0 both at home and versus East Division competition.
Calgary would become the first team to clinch a CFL playoff spot with a win or a tie. This despite being plagued by injuries to its receiving corps with Eric Rogers (knee), Kamar Jorden (knee) and DaVaris Daniels (collarbone) all out.
