Toronto Carries a Two-Game Winning Streak West

Toronto enters Saturday’s matchup at 4-4 overall and 3-4 away from home. The Argonauts have won consecutive games, defeating BC 26-12 before edging Calgary 33-30. Toronto is 2-3 over its last five games, with losses against Calgary, Winnipeg, and Hamilton preceding the current winning streak.

The Argonauts average 31.6 points and 427.5 total yards per game. Their passing attack produces a league-leading 363.1 yards per contest, while the rushing offense contributes 84 yards. Toronto’s defense allows 31.1 points and approximately 389.5 total yards per game.

Toronto’s passing game gives the Argonauts a chance against any opponent, but the defense has struggled to deliver consistently. The encouraging development was holding BC to 12 points before making enough late stops to preserve the win over Calgary. Toronto will need another disciplined defensive performance against an Edmonton offense averaging nearly 29 points.

Edmonton Attempts to Protect Its Home Field

Edmonton comes into Week 11 at 6-3 overall and 3-1 at Commonwealth Stadium. The Elks have lost two straight games, falling 28-26 against Saskatchewan before suffering a 48-30 defeat at Montreal. Edmonton is still 3-2 across its last five appearances, with victories over Ottawa, BC, and Saskatchewan.

The Elks average 28.8 points and 405 total yards per game. Edmonton generates 318.1 yards through the air and 103.7 on the ground. The defense concedes 27.6 points per contest, including a considerably lower 22.7 points per game at home.

Edmonton’s concern is a defense that has surrendered 76 points over the last two games. However, the Elks have won three of their four home games and have not lost consecutive contests at Commonwealth Stadium this season. Their offensive balance should also help them attack a Toronto defense that has been considerably more vulnerable against the pass.

Toronto Argonauts vs Edmonton Elks Injury Report

Toronto receiver Makai Polk has been ruled out with a foot injury. Punter John Haggerty, defensive backs Ethan John, Robert Priester and Alex Teubner, and offensive lineman Kendall Randolph have also been ruled out. Offensive lineman Ryan Hunter and linebacker Brian Harelimana are questionable.

Their final availability could affect an Edmonton defense preparing to face the CFL’s most productive passing offense.
