Argonauts 31, Roughriders 29: An interception by defensive back Alonzo Lawrence set up the go-ahead touchdown by running back Jerious Norwood as visiting Toronto scored 19 fourth-quarter points to hand Saskatchewan its second straight defeat.

Quarterback Zach Collaros found wide receiver John Chiles for the game-tying score and was 18-for-29 passing for 225 yards, adding a rushing touchdown of his own for the Argonauts (7-4), who avenged a 39-28 home loss to the Roughriders in Week 3. Defensive backs Demetrice Morley and Ricardo Colclough also made interceptions.

A 45-yard miss by Waters with 53 seconds remaining gave Toronto an eight-point lead on the single and Saskatchewan had a chance to tie when Durant found Getzlaf for a 17-yard score with 14 seconds left, but Durant was swarmed by the Argonauts' defence on the two-point conversion.

Toronto running back Chad Kackert’s return to action was short-lived as he was hit helmet-to-helmet by Saskatchewan safety Tyron Brackenridge with 3:10 remaining in the first half. No penalty was called on the play, which resulted in a fumble that the Roughriders recovered and wide receiver Rob Bagg caught a 47-yard touchdown pass two plays later.
