Hajrullahu’s boot came after Janarion Grant’s 17-yard punt return. Edmonton (0-3) had the ball at its five-yard line with roughly 1:20 remaining but, following two incompletions, the Elks had to punt and Toronto set up at the visitors’ 45yard line.

It was another solid effort from Toronto starter Cameron Dukes, who completed 18 of 21 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown and a twopoint convert.
