Why Did Toronto Win The 109th Grey Cup?

Henoc Muamba, the linebacker of the Toronto Argonauts, was the most significant player of the game and caught Zach Collaros to put the Toronto Argos at the Winnipeg 43-yard line with 3:20 to play. In any case, Nick Hallett, from Blue Bombers, impeded a 37-yard field goal of Bede to put Winnipeg at their 29-yard line with two minutes left.

In the wake of firing Collaros on second down, Robbie Smith got to the Winnipeg star again on third down. However, he was hailed for a penalty that assisted Blue Bombers with heading to the Toronto Argonauts’ 40-yard line.

However, a third-year Wilfrid Laurier’s player, Robbie Smith, compensated for the penalty by obstructing Marc Liegghio’s 47-yard endeavor. Argonauts got the ball with 43 seconds left at its 14-yard line and had the option to run out the clock for the shocking triumph.

Kelly completed 4-of-6 passing for 43 yards with the help of Bethel-Thompson, who finished 15-of-28 endeavors for 203 yards.

34-year-old Bethel-Thompson will take time this off-season to consider his football future. While he figures he has a lot of gas in the tank, Thompson concedes being away from his better half and youthful little girl this year was troublesome.

Toronto Argonaut’s triumph likewise acquired veteran recipient Brandon Banks’ most memorable Grey Cup title. Banks was showing up in his fifth title challenge, the past four accompanying Hamilton, which had lost the past two CFL title matches to Blue Bombers.

The defeat discolored an unparalleled exertion by Janarion Grant from Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who had a 102-yard punt return TD in the fourth. The Winnipeg endeavored to turn into the leading CFL group to win three consecutive Grey Cups since Edmonton Oilers caught five consecutive titles from 1978 to 1982.
