- 10:00Toronto's final chance and the deciding defensive play arrive here.
Toronto had the lead and Winnipeg's offense had gone quiet. Then a loose ball gave the Blue Bombers the opening they needed, and Nic Demski supplied both the go-ahead touchdown catch and the two-point conversion.
Winnipeg's 25-22 road victory at BMO Field makes for a sharp late turn in TSN's full Eastern Semi-Final highlights. The video reached nearly 50,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular uploads.
The opening had promised a different kind of afternoon for Winnipeg. Pokey Wilson bobbled a pass, gathered it and ran down the sideline for a touchdown. But Toronto answered through Kevin Mital, and Lirim Hajrullahu's field goals steadily built the home side's advantage.
Defense brought the Bombers back into it. David Reese returned a loose ball for a touchdown after a sack of Chad Kelly. Later, Winnipeg forced another turnover on a Toronto punt return, setting up Demski's decisive contribution. Deatrick Nichols then broke up Nick Arbuckle's deep third-down pass to end Toronto's last chance.
The comments focus on those changes of possession and how Toronto let its advantage slip, with some viewers weighing the Argonauts' defensive work against their offensive mistakes. TSN has also posted the game-winning drive separately, and that upload is drawing a much larger audience than its regular videos usually receive.

What viewers say
Argos defense came to play at championship level, but other than the fieldgoal kicker, Argos offense was pretty...unspectacular. So ironically Argos undone by turnovers despite turnovers giving them a lead for much of the game.
