The Argos dropped the second half of their home-and-home with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, falling 40–31 in a game marked by brutal early mistakes and a missed opportunity to complete the comeback. Ben Grant breaks down a game that started with one of the worst halves in recent Argos history, as Toronto gave up three non-offensive touchdowns - a pair on special teams and one on a sack-fumble return. The offensive line struggled under relentless pressure, the run game was abandoned early (finishing with just 8 yards), and short yardage issues re-emerged. Despite it all, the defence kept Toronto alive, coming up with three interceptions, including a pick six, and twice giving the offence a chance to win the game in the final minutes. Demonte Coxie turned in a career night with 9 catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early damage.
