TORONTO – Bo Levi Mitchell threw four touchdown passes as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Toronto Argonauts 47-29 on Saturday afternoon, eliminating the defending Grey Cup champions from playoff contention.
Mitchell’s 34-yard strike to Kenny Lawler just 52 seconds into the fourth, put Hamilton ahead 39-22. It came after Toronto outscored the Ticats 13-0 in the third to pull to within 32-22.
The TD grab was Lawler’s seventh in three games versus Toronto. Hamilton won the season series 2-1.
Liegghio’s 33-yard boot — set up by Stavros Katsantonis’s second of three picks — put Hamilton ahead 42-22 at 4:16. But Doege countered with a 15-yard TD pass to Kevin Mital at 8:05, cutting the deficit to 42-29.
Philip Ossai sacked Jarret Doege — Ossai’s third of the game — in the end zone for a safety at 10:51, putting Hamilton ahead 44-29. The Ticats had nine sacks and forced five turnovers in the contest. Lieggio’s 33-yard field goal at 14:17 rounded out the scoring.
Hamilton (10-6) moved four points ahead of idle Montreal (8-7) atop the East Division. While the Alouettes have a game in hand, the Ticats won the season series and thus have the tiebreaker should the teams finish with identical records.
Hamilton and Montreal have both clinched home playoff games. More importantly for the Ticats, this win was a nice rebound following last weekend’s lopsided 40-3 loss in Winnipeg, although it was anything but a clean offensive performance.
Still, Hamilton will finish its regular season at home against Calgary (next Saturday) and Ottawa (Oct. 24).
