Lirim Hajrullahu's single on the game's final play earned Toronto a 20-19 home win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday in Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly's "24 debut.
Saskatchewan took possession at its eight-yard line but following a sack and incompletion had to punt from its one-yard line with 26 seconds remaining. Janarion Grant's 12-yard return put Toronto at the Riders 37 with 16 seconds to play.
On second down, Hajrullahu set up a 40-yard field goal. He missed it but the ensuing single earned Toronto (6-4) the victory.
Saskatchewan (5-5-1) ran its winless streak to five games (0-4-1).
Kelly, 30, played his first game of the season after being reinstated, with conditions, by the CFL on Sunday. The league suspended Kelly on May 7 for Toronto's two exhibition games and at least its first nine regular-season contests for violating its gender-based violence policy.
