A single point following a missed field goal was enough to give the Toronto Argonauts a 24-23 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday in CFL action at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. "Now we can get healthy.
We needed that bye and get some guys back," said Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. "We wanted to win the East obviously, but it was essential to get it done this week and not wait until next week." Toronto's (11-6) McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns and had one interception.
Trevor Harris led Montreal (8-9) with 413 passing yards and two touchdowns in the tough loss.

All the progress would be undone when Montreal gambled on third down. They turned the ball over when Harris's pass was intercepted by Jonathan Jones.
