Elks' historic home losing skid continues as Argonauts rally for late win
The Edmonton Elks continue to find ways to lose home games.
The Toronto Argonauts did not take the lead until 27 seconds were left on the clock in Saturday's game at Commonwealth Stadium.
A.J. Oullette's 25-yard scamper into the end zone on a second-down-and-nine draw gave the Argos a 28-23 come-from-behind win over the Elks.
The Elks' CFL-record home losing streak is now at 16 games.
STUNNER, ABSOLUTE STUNNER!<br><br>AJ Oulette with a silencer!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CFLGameday?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CFLGameday</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TorontoArgos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TorontoArgos</a> <a href="https://t.co/10Rm5GLYzN">pic.twitter.com/10Rm5GLYzN</a>
The Elks got 121 yards rushing and a touchdown from Kevin Brown. Their special teams recovered two kickoff fumbles from Argo returner Jeremiah Haydel. These things should make a recipe for victory.
But not for the Elks, who fall to 4-13 on the season. The Argos move to 10-6, two games up on Montreal in the East Division.
Elks backup quarterback Tre Ford only went into the game for one play, while starter Taylor Cornelius was being examined for a potential head injury. That play changed the game.
Cue the comeback.
DaVarus Daniels caught a 43-yard touchdown strike from McLeod Bethel-Thompson three plays later, but the Argos missed the two-point convert. It didn't matter. The Argos got the ball back and Oullette sealed the deal. He finished with 91 yards rushing on the night.
