Backup QB Leads Argos to Victory | Calgary News

Backup QB Nick Arbuckle delivered a clutch performance, leading the Toronto Argonauts to a 26-12 win over the struggling B.C. Lions after starter Chad Kelly went down with an injury. Arbuckle completed 13 of 20 passes for 134 yards and added 28 rushing yards, while rookie kicker Brady Lidster nailed four of five field goals, including long bombs from 47 and 48 yards. Kelly set the tone with two TDs to Makai Polk before exiting amid a post-hit scuffle. The Lions, now 1-5, saw Chase Brice’s debut end in frustration as they surrendered over 370 yards — a performance their players called unacceptable. The Argos snapped a three-game skid and look poised for momentum. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
