Elks Fall 24-19 to Toronto – What Went Wrong? | ELKSCENTRAL

The Edmonton Elks fall 24-19 to the Toronto Argonauts in a game that saw Edmonton dominate the time of possession, total yards and rushing production, but ultimately come up short.

On this episode of Elks 101, Declan, Eddie and Rick break down what went wrong in Toronto and why the Elks were unable to turn their statistical dominance into a win.

The guys discuss Edmonton’s continued struggles in the red zone, Cody Fajardo’s two interceptions, the botched snap that turned into a Toronto touchdown, and the explosive passing plays that allowed the Argos to stay in control.

They also look at Justin Rankin’s impressive performance, Austin Mack’s 116-yard game, Toronto’s decision to rely almost entirely on Chad Kelly and the Elks’ defensive struggles against the deep ball.

The guys also break down the ongoing issue with Edmonton’s slow starts, discuss whether Torres Reid deserves more opportunities in the secondary, and look at the performances of Malik Carney, Noah Taylor and Nick Anderson.

Despite the loss, the Elks remain in a strong position heading toward the playoffs. The question now is whether Edmonton can clean up the mistakes that cost them against Toronto.
