Arbuckle threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dejon Brissett to give Toronto a 24-16 lead with 7:31 left. On the first play after the kickoff, DaShaun Amos intercepted Zach Collaros’ pass and returned it to the Winnipeg 16 to set up Brian Hajrullahu’s 14-yard field goal with 5:11 remaining.
Robert Priester iced it with 3:12 left with a 61-yard interception return for a touchdown. Wynton McManis then returned another interception 58 yards to the 4, with Carey scoring on the next play to make it 41-16.
Collaros, the only player to make five straight Grey Cup starts, was 15 of 30 for 202 yards and four interceptions. Brady Oliveira, the league’s outstanding player and top Canadian this year, ran for 84 yards and a TD, scoring on a 1-yard run and adding a 2-point conversion in the final minute.
Toronto — which beat Winnipeg in both regular-season meetings — took a 17-10 lead with 6:13 left in the third quarter on Arbuckle’s 17-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Mital — a play after Fraser Sopik recovered Lucky Whitehead’s fumble on a punt return.
Winnipeg cut it to 17-13 on Sergio Castillo’s 40-yard field goal with 2:13 left in the third. The Blue Bombers’ Michael Ayers then blocked John Haggerty’s punt, but Toronto ended up with a first down because Kyrie Wilson interfered with an Argonauts player while the ball was loose.
The Blue Bombers got the ball back two plays later when Willie Jefferson intercepted Arbuckle’s pass and returned it 4 yards to the Toronto 30, setting up Castillo’s 23-yard field goal.
