The Toronto Argonauts got a huge win over the weekend, but they lost so much more with Chad Kelly.
Kelly had to be taken off the field on a stretcher due to a gruesome right leg injury in the third quarter.
The Argonauts defeated the defending champion Montreal Alouettes 30-28 in the CFL’s East Division final on Saturday, but now we have to figure out if they will continue the year without Kelly.
Kelly could be seen grabbing his leg after a play as he broke his ankle late in the third quarter.
His backup, Nick Arbuckle, went 5-for-8 for 73 yards.
Arbuckle appears to be the man going forward who will be a starter in the Grey Cup game next Sunday in Vancouver.

TSN’s Dave Naylor reported he will undergo surgery on his tibia, and his expected recovery time is six to nine months.
The 2023 Most Outstanding Player was coming off a year in which he completed 270 of 394 passes for 4,123 yards with 23 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while rushing for 248 yards and eight touchdowns.
