The Toronto Argonauts capped off a memorable season under the new ownership of Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall, hockey player Wayne Gretzky and actor John Candy with a win over the Calgary Stampeders.

The Argos started with a bang as defensive back Ed Berry intercepted Calgary quarterback Danny Barrett's first pass attempt and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown.

Trailing 14–12 with three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Argo quarterback Matt Dunigan threw a 48-yard strike to Darrell K. Smith, giving the Boatmen some life.

In the fourth quarter, Reggie Pleasant stepped in front of a Barrett pass, setting up a Lance Chomyc field goal to make it a 22–14 score in favour of Toronto.

When Keyvan Jenkins fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Toronto linebacker Keith Castello recovered the ball to set up a 36-yard touchdown pass from Dunigan to Paul Masotti, sealing the Argonauts' victory.
