Ford Steps Up in Wild Conditions | Canada News

Hamilton Tiger-Cats pull off a heart-stopping 24-23 win over the Toronto Argonauts in a game disrupted by wildfire smoke, injuries, and limited practice — all while rookie QB Tre Ford delivered a gritty, all-around performance with 218 passing yards, a TD, and over 100 rushing yards. With starter Bo Levi Mitchell sidelined, Ford stepped up under pressure, leading a resilient offense that converted key second downs despite a patchwork line and minimal reps. Toronto’s Lirim Hajrullahu missed a game-winning 31-yard field goal as time expired, adding to his frustration after a crucial missed convert earlier. The win snaps Hamilton’s two-game skid and injects confidence into a struggling team — Ford’s athleticism and poise under fire prove he’s ready to lead when called upon.
