The game, held at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, saw the Argonauts dominate the fourth quarter, outscoring the Bombers 24-3. Arbuckle’s precise passing and the Argos’ formidable defense, which recorded four interceptions, were key to their triumph.

Toronto’s defense shone brightly, with three interceptions in the final quarter alone, including a 61-yard pick-six by Robert Priester that sealed the victory. The Argos’ offense was equally impressive, with Arbuckle completing 26 of 37 passes for 252 yards.

This victory marks the Argonauts’ second Grey Cup win in three years, solidifying their status as one of the CFL’s most successful franchises.
