Argonauts Aim to Spoil Stampeders' Playoff Push
The Toronto Argonauts (5-12) will travel to Calgary to take on the Stampeders (9-7) in the final game of the 2025 CFL regular season. While the Argonauts have already been eliminated from playoff contention, they'll be looking to play spoiler against a Calgary team fighting for position in the tight West Division race.
Opportunity for Young Argonauts Quarterbacks
With the Argonauts out of the playoff picture, head coach Ryan Dinwiddie has indicated that the team will use this game as an opportunity to evaluate their young backup quarterbacks. Rookie pivot Chad Horn has been getting increased reps in practice this week, and he'll likely see significant playing time alongside veteran Nick Arbuckle. "This week it's been a lot more physically taxing," Horn told Argonauts.ca. "I'm actually getting in on reps, getting to see how things move, how fast they move, how I need to speed up my feet, progressing my reads, things like that. It's been really, really good."
Stampeders Aim to Build Momentum Heading into Playoffs
For the Stampeders, this game represents a chance to build some positive momentum heading into the postseason. Calgary running back Dedrick Mills has enjoyed a career year, and he'll look to continue his strong play against a struggling Argonauts defense. "This is a big game for us," Mills told the Penticton Herald. "We had a win last week. We played good football. Can we take it to the next level and get better so we can gain some momentum?"
