Tactical Breakdown
Toronto Keys to Victory:
Protect Arbuckle and establish Carey early
Limit explosive plays from Hardy and Armstead
Improve red zone efficiency (just 4 TDs on 10 trips)
Ottawa Keys to Victory:
Control the clock with the run game
Pressure Arbuckle—Toronto has allowed 7 sacks in 3 games
Win the turnover battle (both teams are –4 on the season)
Matchup to Watch:
Ka’Deem Carey vs. Adarius Pickett – Carey’s elusiveness vs. Ottawa’s top tackler could swing the game
Expect a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair. If Dru Brown returns, Ottawa’s offense should have the edge. But even with Crum, the Redblacks’ run game and home-field advantage give them a slight upper hand.
