The Eastern Semi-Final on November 2, 2024, will take place at BMO Field, where the Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa Redblacks will battle for a spot in the East Division Final.
Toronto secured a home playoff game with a thrilling 38-31 victory over Ottawa in their final regular-season meeting. The Argonauts dominated much of the game but had to fend off a late rally from the Redblacks.
Chad Kelly led the charge with an impressive performance, completing 21 of 26 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns, while adding a rushing touchdown.
Makai Polk shined among the receivers with 104 yards and a touchdown on just three catches, while Dejon Brissett made a significant impact with two receiving touchdowns.
Despite the loss, Ottawa showed resilience. Quarterback Dru Brown threw four touchdown passes – two to Bralon Addison and one each to Nick Mardner and Justin Hardy. The Redblacks added drama late in the game by recovering two onside kicks, but their comeback attempt fell short as time expired.
The rematch in the playoffs promises to be just as exciting, with both teams seeking redemption and a place in the East Final on the line.
