"I got somewhat parched and I thought I'd extinguish it," said Gott. "It was all for the sake of entertainment. It was the last customary season diversion and ideally I don't get stuck in an unfortunate situation excessively, however we'll see."

Gott said he had been arranging the chug for as long as few seasons, and when his better half gestured to him he knew the time was correct.

"It was most likely four years prior I thought of it and I at long last just pulled the trigger. Ideally (CFL chief Randy) Ambrosie relaxes on me."

Reinforcement quarterback Dominique Davis tossed for 220 yards and a touchdown as Ottawa brought down Toronto to head into the post-season with three straight wins.

It was where neither one of the teams had anything to play for in the standings. The Argonauts (4-14) will complete rearward in the East Division while the Redblacks (11-7) as of now had in front of the rest of the competition in the division and a bye toward the East Final bolted up following their prevail upon Hamilton a week ago.

In light of a legitimate concern for remaining solid in front of the East Final in about fourteen days, the Redblacks sat a few starters including quarterback Trevor Harris, Brad Sinopoli, who drives the class with 116 gatherings and William Powell alongside his association driving 1,362 hurrying yards.

Davis assumed control over the QB obligations for Harris to begin the amusement while Danny Collins went in for the second half.

"We simply needed to get win number 11, turn out, take it one play at any given moment and play hard. That was the objective," Davis said.

"We had some folks that have been lounging around all year and needed to go out there and grandstand their gifts and demonstrate that they could be great players in the group, and I feel like they did."

The Redblacks got a 10-yard field objective from Lewis Ward on the opening drive of the amusement and a 57-yard single from punter Richie Leoni 65 seconds into the second quarter.

The Argos got three back on a 30-yard Drew Brown field objective at 3:34 of the second.

The enormous play of the half was a 23-yard touchdown go from Davis to Julien Feoli-Gudino caught up with a two-point transformation hurl to Anthony Gosselin, giving the Redblacks a 12-3 lead eight minutes into the second quarter.

Davis completed the half 16-of-23 going for his 220 yards, 44 of them on a gathering to Dominique Rhymes.

Dark colored finished off the half with a 45-yard field objective in the last minutes slicing the prompt 12-6 at the half, and afterward kicked a 13-yard field objective on the Argos opening drive of the second half to make it a 12-9 diversion.

Collins first pass was blocked and returned 44 yards to the Ottawa four-yard line, yet Redblacks mentor Rick Campbell tested for pass obstruction and the call was toppled.

Collins expeditiously went two-and-out in any case, on Ottawa's next arrangement after the Argos yielded a wellbeing, he drove the Redblacks sufficiently profound for Ward to kick a 32-yard field objective for a 17-9 lead halfway through the third.

It was Ward's 48th back to back field objective, adding to the untouched record in expert football he set two weeks prior.

"The ordinary season is done however regardless we have a considerable measure of work to do in the following couple of weeks. We have two more diversions to go and I simply need to continue doing my part and help this group be fruitful," Ward stated, turning his contemplations to the playoffs.

"I don't know whether it's completely indented in yet. At this moment we must complete a great deal of planning for that amusement and I think we'll get somewhat more energized as we draw near, yet simply having the open door is exceptionally energizing."

Collins finished 5-of-10 goes for 49 yards.

Following an interference by Toronto quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, Collins brought the Redblacks down field and Mossis Madu topped the drive with a one-yard touchdown keep running at 14:01 of the third. Ward changed over the score for a 24-9 Ottawa lead and that is when Gott went and got himself a cool drink.

The Argos will miss the playoffs in the wake of winning the Gray Cup in 2017.

"Our group played with incredible exertion, they played with heart and they completed the season. Primary concern is in our business there are no ethical triumphs," Argos mentor Marc Trestman said. "...We didn't play all around ok to win and we haven't all year."
