Winnipeg Blue Bombers
2024 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season
The Blue Bombers had an uncharacteristically slow start to the year as they opened their season with four straight losses and had a 2 6 record after eight games. By contrast, the Blue Bombers had at least six wins in their first eight games in each of the previous four seasons. Receiver Kenny Lawler was injured in the season opener and sat for out eight games and fellow pass catcher Dalton Schoen was injured in the third regular season game and was on the injured list for the rest of the year, which compounded the team's struggles. However, after the disappointing start, the Blue Bombers won their next eight games and finished with an 11 7 record and captured a fourth consecutive first-place finish in the West Division.https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024-GN-Gm-94-Wpg-vs-Ssk-WF.pdf 2024 CFL Game Notes • West Final • Winnipeg vs Saskatchewan Canadian Football League November 19, 2024 Unlike previous seasons where the Blue Bombers were guaranteed a first-place finish early, the team only clinched first place in the West Division after winning their final game of the regular season, defeating the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes 28–27 on the strength of a final-play Sergio Castillo 51-yard field goal.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sergio-castillo-west-division-montreal-alouettes-1.7364909 Castillo's final-play field goal clinches win over Alouettes, sends Bombers back to Western Final Canadian Broadcasting Corporation October 26, 2024 In the Blue Bombers' sixth consecutive appearance in the West Final, the team had a commanding victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders by a score of 38–22.https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/09/five-in-a-row-bombers-punch-ticket-to-111th-grey-cup/ Five in a Row: Bombers punch ticket to 111th Grey Cup Canadian Football League November 9, 2024 Zach Collaros passed for 301 yards and four touchdowns, including three to Lawler, and Brady Oliveira had 20 rush attempts for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Bryant made his seventh appearance in a Grey Cup game while Jeffersion and Collaros were playing in their sixth championship games.
Toronto Argonauts
2024 Toronto Argonauts season
thumb|right|The Argonauts defeated the Redblacks in the East Semi-Final.
The Argonauts began the year without their MOP quarterback, Chad Kelly, who was serving a nine-game suspension after it was determined that he violated the league's gender-based violence policy following an investigation into a lawsuit filed by the team's former strength and conditioning coach.CFL's Chad Kelly suspended at least 9 games after investigation into ex-coach's lawsuit https://apnews.com/article/cfl-chad-kelly-8057d6c89e1260767c7f9786547bea3a AP News May 7, 2024 The previous year's backup quarterback, Cameron Dukes started the first eight games to mixed results, as he posted a 4–4 record as a starter. In the team's ninth game, Nick Arbuckle took over as the starter and led the team to a 39–25 victory over the Calgary Stampeders. With the Argonauts sitting at a 5 4 record, Kelly returned as the starter and led the team to five more wins as the Argonauts clinched a second-place finish following their week 20 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks.https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/19/argos-hold-off-redblacks-to-secure-home-playoff-game/ Argos hold off Redblacks to secure home playoff game Canadian Football League October 19, 2024

The team also had four players named to the All-CFL team, including Hunter and Grant as well as Dejon Allen and Jake Ceresna. The Argonauts entered this game having won seven consecutive Grey Cup appearances, with their last loss coming in 1987.
Head-to-head
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts played twice during the regular season with Toronto winning both games. In the first game, in Toronto, the Argonauts won 16–14 in overtime as Winnipeg's Sergio Castillo missed a field goal attempt in extra time while Toronto's Lirim Hajrullahu was successful on a 34-yarder to provide the game-winning points.https://www.cfl.ca/2024/07/27/argos-survive-overtime-to-take-down-bombers-on-saturday/ Argos survive overtime to take down Bombers on Saturday Canadian Football League July 27, 2024 Tarvarus McFadden, who had re-signed with the Argonauts after being cut in training camp, scored the only major for the Argonauts on an interception return touchdown. The second game was also a low-scoring affair with the Argonauts winning 14–11 in Winnipeg, which clinched a playoff spot for the team and also halted the Blue Bombers' eight-game winning streak.https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/11/argonauts-beat-bombers-to-punch-playoff-ticket/ Argonauts beat Bombers to punch playoff ticket Canadian Football League October 11, 2024 The Argos sacked Collaros seven times, led by Folarin Orimolade who had two sacks and a game-sealing interception.
This championship was the eighth meeting between the two teams in the championship game, with the previous seven having been won by Toronto, most recently in 2022. The Argonauts won the first meeting in 1937 and repeated as champions in 1938. Toronto then won three consecutive championships over the Blue Bombers in 1945, 1946, and 1947 before winning the infamous Mud Bowl in 1950. All six of these championship games were played at Varsity Stadium, in Toronto.

Game summary
thumb|right|Terry Wilson behind centre with the short yardage unit in the first quarter.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the initial coin toss and chose to receive the ball immediately, but took procedure penalty on their first offensive play and went two-and-out on their first possession. Following a Janarion Grant 23-yard punt return, quarterback Nick Arbuckle led the Argonauts on an 11-play, 51-yard drive down to the Blue Bombers' one-yard line.https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/boatmen-reign-supreme-argos-win-the-111th-grey-cup/ Boatmen Reign Supreme: Argos win the 111th Grey Cup Canadian Football League November 17, 2024 However, on 3rd-and-one, the Argonauts appeared to intentionally try to draw the Blue Bombers offside and instead took a time count penalty and settled for a Lirim Hajrullahu 13-yard field goal. As the first quarter came to a close, the Bombers replied with a deep pass to Ontaria Wilson that set up a Terry Wilson 3-yard rushing touchdown in the final minute of the quarter, putting them up 7–3.
The offences for both teams stalled to begin the second quarter, but Winnipeg soon put together a long drive that began at their own 26-yard line and progressed down to Toronto's 8-yard line. However, after an incompletion, quarterback Zach Collaros was sacked by Robbie Smith, so the Blue Bombers settled for a Sergio Castillo 20-yard field goal. On the ensuing Argonaut possession, Arbuckle completed a deep pass to Damonte Coxie for 36 yards which eventually led to a 35-yard field goal. Hajrullahu was injured on the play, but was able to walk to the sidelines. On Winnipeg's next possession, Collaros was intercepted by Benjie Franklin, who had his third straight post-season game with an interception, with under two minutes left in the half. The Argonauts then marched 44 yards down to the Blue Bombers' 38-yard line where a resilient Hajrullahu connected on a 45-yard field goal attempt. Winnipeg led 10–9 going into halftime.

The Argonauts had the first possession of the third quarter, where the Blue Bombers elected to trade score for field position, conceding a single on a 70-yard John Haggerty punt to tie the game at 10–10. After a Winnipeg two-and-out, the Argonauts were again moving the ball, but Arbuckle fumbled while being sacked by Willie Jefferson which was recovered by Toronto's Peter Nicastro. The Argonauts were forced to punt, but punt returner Lucky Whitehead fumbled after contacting Fraser Sopik, which was recovered by Toronto's Jack Cassar. On the next play, Arbuckle completed a pass to rookie Kevin Mital who ran 20 yards for the touchdown, leading to the Argonauts' first lead of the game at 17–10. After another Winnipeg two-and-out, Arbuckle attempted a deep pass for Coxie, but was intercepted by Terrell Bonds at the Winnipeg 40-yard line. Following a 35-yard run by Brady Oliveira, the Blue Bombers were able to kick a 40-yard field goal to narrow the gap to 17–13. However, Collaros was injured on the incomplete deep pass attempt on the play prior, resulting in a laceration to the top knuckle on his right index finger.https://3downnation.com/2024/11/19/zach-collaros-on-grey-cup-injury-i-could-look-inside-my-finger/ Zach Collaros on Grey Cup injury: 'I could look inside my finger' 3DownNation November 19, 2024https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/zach-collaros-leaves-111th-grey-cup-to-have-cut-finger-attended-to/ Zach Collaros returns to action at 111th Grey Cup Canadian Football League November 17, 2024 On the Argonauts' next possession, they moved the ball six yards before having Haggerty's punt blocked by Michael Ayers which was recovered by Winnipeg's Brandon Alexander. However, Kyrie Wilson was flagged for illegal interference on a loose ball behind the line of scrimmage which resulted in an automatic first down for the Argonauts going into the fourth quarter.
Despite the stunning turn of events, Jefferson intercepted a short pass from Arbuckle two plays after the negated blocked punt, giving Winnipeg possession at Toronto's 30-yard line. With Collaros getting his finger stitched in the locker room, backup quarterback Wilson entered the game where he went 0/3 in pass attempts leading to a Winnipeg 23-yard field goal from Castillo, with the score 17–16 in favour of Toronto. Unshaken by the Blue Bombers gaining ground, the Argonauts march down the field on an eight-play, 70-yard drive that culminated in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Arbuckle to Dejon Brissett. Collaros returned to the game with a bandage and a glove on his throwing hand and was immediately intercepted on a deep ball by DaShaun Amos who returned it 45 yards to Winnipeg's 16-yard line. Hajrullahu's 14-yard field goal attempt made it a two-possession game at 27–16. On Winnipeg's next possession, after a few plays and 3:23 remaining on the clock, the team gambled on 3rd-and-three, but Collaros was again intercepted, this time by Robert Priester, who returned the ball 61 yards for a touchdown and a 34–16 Argonaut lead. After getting the ball back, Collaros was intercepted two plays later by Wynton McManis on a tipped pass which was returned 58 yards to Winnipeg's four-yard line. Toronto's Ka'Deem Carey scored a four-yard touchdown on the next play, giving the Argoanuts a 41–16 lead with 2:14 left to play. With the game mostly decided, Winnipeg managed to march the ball down and score a touchdown and two-point convert, both by Oliveira to bring the score to 41–24 with 47 seconds left to play. However, on the ensuing onside kick attempt, Brissett recovered the ball for the Argonauts and Toronto kneeled down in three plays to secure the victory and end the game.
