Argos rally, win CFL’S Grey Cup

OTTAWA, Ontario — Lirim Hajrullahu’s 32-yard field goal with 49 seconds left lifted the Toronto Argonauts to a stunning 27-24 victory over the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday in a snowy 105th Grey Cup, the championship of the Canadian Football League.

Toronto tied it with 4:35 remaining when Cassius Vaughn returned a fumble 109 yards for a touchdown — a Grey

Cup record — and Ricky Ray’s 2-point conversion pass to Declan Cross.

After Hajrullahu’s field goal, Matt Black picked off Bo Levi Mitchell’s pass in the end zone to send the Stampeders to their second loss in two years in the title game. Last year, they fell to Ottawa 39-33 in overtime.

On a snow-covered field,

Ray hit Devier Posey for a Grey Cup-record 100-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the second half.

Toronto won its record-extending 17 championship, and Ray, 38, became the first starting quarterback to win four Grey Cup titles.

“That sounds pretty good. Obviously, that’s for myself to celebrate,” Ray said. “I’m just so happy with these guys on this team and what we’ve been through this year. Man, there’s no other way to finish it off than with a Grey Cup. I mean, these guys are such great guys.”

The Stampeders led the CFL in the regular season with a 13-4-1 record, while Toronto topped the East Division at

9-9. Calgary also was the top regular-season team last year at 15-2-1.
