105TH GREY CUP:
Toronto Argonauts 27 Calgary Stampeders 24
In dramatic come-from-behind fashion, Toronto won its CFL-best 17th Grey Cup, and first since beating Calgary 35-22 in the 100th CFL title game at Rogers Centre in 2012.
Trailing 24-16, the Argos pulled even at 10:25 of the 4th quarter on Cassius Vaughn’s 110-yard fumble recovery TD and Declan Cross’s two-point convert before a sellout crowd of 36,154 in Ottawa.
Toronto went ahead for the first time on a 32-yard field goal with 53 seconds left.
The Stampeders were in a position to at least force overtime before Matt Black intercepted Bo Levi Mitchell in the end zone with eight seconds left.
At age 38, Ricky Ray set a record with his 4th Grey Cup title, the most in CFL history for a starting quarterback.
Ray hit DeVier Posey on a Cup-record 100-yard TD strike against a Calgary team that had beaten Toronto eight straight games.
Posey was named game MVP with seven receptions for 175 yards.
Ray finished 19-of-32 passing for 297 yards with a touchdown.
The 2018 Grey Cup will be played in Edmonton.
