Hajrullahu field goal helps Argonauts capture wild home victory over Redblacks
TORONTO — Ricky Ray and the Toronto Argonauts’ offence made good on their second chance Monday night.
Lirim Hajrullahu’s 34-yard field goal as time expired earned Toronto a wild 27-24 home win over the Ottawa Redblacks. Hajrullahu capped a nine-play, 51-yard drive after the Redblacks made it 24-24 on Trevor Harris’s 31-yard TD strike to Greg Ellingson with 2:17 remaining.
Harris’s TD pass came after Toronto’s Cody Fajardo was stopped on a third-down gamble before a season-high BMO Field gathering of 15,801.
“Unfortunately we didn’t get that third-down conversion but we got another chance,” said Ray. “That’s all you ask for, to be able to have the ball in your hands and have a chance to go down the field and try to get points.”
