Chad Kelly comes off the bench, leads go-ahead drive for Toronto Argonauts to win CFL’s Grey Cup

Chad Kelly is still playing professional football. Sunday, the former Ole Miss quarterback was one of the heroes for the Toronto Argonauts in their 24-23 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the Grey Cup, the CFL championship.
McLeod Bethel-Thompson was Toronto’s starting QB, but it was Kelly on the drive to take the late lead.
It looks like Chad Kelly is coming in now for the #Argos at QB. That’s strange. It hasn’t been MBT’s best game, but he hasn’t been way off. I wonder if he’s ok. #CFL #Bombers #GreyCup2022

Kelly is still very much a dual-threat quarterback. He was 4-of-6 passing for 43 yards and also picked up key yards with his legs.
