Ticats end Argos playoff hopes with 47-29 win
TORONTO – Bo Levi Mitchell and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats moved closer to cementing first in the East Division while ending the Toronto Argonauts’ playoff hopes.
Mitchell threw for four TD passes as Hamilton defeated Toronto 47-29 on Saturday afternoon, eliminating the defending Grey Cup champions from playoff contention.
Mitchell finished 18-of-25 passing for 320 yards and an interception as the Ticats rebounded from a lopsided 40-3 road loss last week in Winnipeg.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of how that felt last week. I don’t like getting my butt whipped,” Mitchell said. “I’d glad with the way we responded.
“There’s still a lot of football we can clean up to be a better team and be able to beat a team the way we got beat last week (and) still not give up 29 points. It’s on us to find ways to get better and keep driving to be a better team.”
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.
Lawler had three catches for 63 yards and two TDs, giving him seven in three games against Toronto. Hamilton won the season series 2-1.
Marc Liegghio’s 33-yard boot — set up by Stavros Katsantonis’s second of three picks — put Hamilton ahead 42-22 at 4:16. But Jarret Doege countered with a 15-yard TD pass to Kevin Mital at 8:05, cutting the deficit to 42-29.
