Kelly rushes for 3 TDs as defending champion Argonauts beat Tiger-Cats in season opener

Quarterback Chad Kelly rushed for three touchdowns to lead the defending champion Toronto Argonauts to a convincing season-opening 32-14 win against the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday.

They also trotted out past stars like Damon Allen and Rickey Foggie to help celebrate the occasion.

Kelly, the 29-year-old nephew of Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, was the Argos' backup last year. But he won the starting job this year with McLeod Bethel-Thompson now playing for the USFL's New Orleans Breakers.

Besides his three rushing touchdowns, Kelly completed 14 of 23 passes for 208 yards.
