Redblacks beat Argonauts 24-9 in season finale, head into playoffs on win streak
OTTAWA — Offensive lineman Jon Gott waited a long time to celebrate a touchdown in a way he wanted.
Gott rushed to the stands and chugged a beer handed to him by his girlfriend standing in the front row on Ottawa’s final touchdown in a 24-9 Redblacks victory over the Toronto Argonauts on Friday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
“I got a little thirsty and I thought I’d quench it,” said Gott. “It was all in fun. It was the last regular season game and hopefully I don’t get in trouble too much, but we’ll see.”
Gott said he had been planning the chug for the past few seasons, and when his girlfriend nodded to him he knew the time was right.
