Story summary

On October 31, 2026, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers secured a 25-22 victory over the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL East Division semifinal. Dru Brown led Winnipeg to the win with a game-winning 23-yard touchdown pass to Nick Demski with just 44 seconds remaining. Chad Kelly started for Toronto but left the game early due to an apparent shoulder injury, throwing for 193 yards and one touchdown before leaving with under ten minutes left in regulation.

Toronto's defense forced four turnovers, yet their offense managed only three field goals. Winnipeg capitalized on late-game opportunities, aided by a key fumble recovery that set up their winning drive. With the win, Winnipeg advances to face the Montreal Alouettes in the East final next weekend.
