Argonauts 43, Tiger-Cats 35 (OT): Ricky Ray threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead 13-yard toss to DeVier Posey in overtime, to lift visiting Toronto past Hamilton.

Ray completed 25-of-38 passes while Posey made seven catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns for the Argonauts (7-7), who have won three straight games for the first time since October 2015. Armanti Edwards caught a scoring pass and backup quarterback Cody Fajardo added a rushing TD for Toronto, which opened a three-point lead atop the East Division.

Jeremiah Masoli went 18-of-32 for 288 yards and two touchdowns for the Tiger-Cats (3-10), who failed to pick up a first down on their overtime possession. C.J. Gable rushed for a season-high 157 yards and a pair of TDs while Brandon Banks had three receptions for 100 yards and a score for Hamilton, which led by 14 points early in the fourth quarter.

Banks turned a short pass into a 58-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage before Martese Jackson returned a punt 92 yards to even the contest at 7-7 after one quarter. Ray found a wide-open Edwards from 15 yards out to give Toronto its first lead at 14-10 before Sergio Castillo kicked a 19-yard field goal and Luke Tasker caught a 3-yard touchdown pass with two seconds left in the first half to help put the Tiger-Cats in front 21-14.

Marcus Ball recovered a fumble deep in Hamilton territory to set up Fajardo's 1-yard score that tied the game before Gable answered with a pair of 3-yard touchdown runs to put the Tiger-Cats on top 35-21 early in the fourth quarter. Lirim Hajrullahu connected on kicks from 47 and 16 yards to pull the Argonauts within eight points with 5:40 to go before Posey made a diving 25-yard TD catch and James Wilder Jr. ran for the 2-point conversion with 33 seconds left to force overtime.
