Toronto Argonauts have hit the ground running to open CFL season
TORONTO — Quarterback Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts offence have certainly hit the ground running to start the 2023 CFL season.
Toronto (2-0) currently leads the league in rushing, averaging 152 yards per game. Last year, the Argos finished last overall in rushing (81.7 yards per game) and ran for just nine touchdowns all year.
The Argos host the B.C. Lions (3-0) at BMO Field on Monday night having already scored seven rushing TDs. Kelly and running back A.J. Ouellette both have three touchdowns with veteran Canadian running back Andrew Harris accounting for the other.
“We’re fast and we’re physical,” Kelly said following practice Thursday. “I think we’re smart and we’re using our strengths to our advantage.”
