VANCOUVER - Ronnie Pfeffer nailed his third field goal of the night with 46 seconds left in the fourth quarter as the Toronto Argonauts stormed back from an early 21-0 deficit to stun the B.C. Lions 30-27 on Friday night.
The rookie kicker's 29-yard attempt capped an impressive comeback led by quarterback Trevor Harris, who threw two touchdown passes to go along with two interceptions for the Argonauts (3-1). Harris also scored on a two-yard TD run.
Andrew Harris ran in two scores and added another through the air in the game's first 15 minutes 40 seconds for the Lions (2-2) as B.C. built an early 21-0 lead before Toronto started its comeback. Travis Lulay finished with one touchdown pass against one interception.
With the score tied 21-21 in the fourth quarter and the Lions' offence stuck in neutral, Richie Leone nailed a 39-yard field goal with just over six minutes remaining for the home side's first points since early in the second.
But Trevor Harris drove his team back the other way and hooked up with Natey Adjei with 3:31 to play to give the Argonauts their first lead at 27-24 after Pfeffer failed to connect on a 32-yard convert attempt.
Shaq Murray-Lawrence returned the ensuing kickoff to Toronto's 35-yard line, but B.C. could only attempt another field goal, which Leone nailed from 42 yards out to tie the score 27-27 with 2:22 on the clock before Pfeffer booted the winning points.
Down 21-7 at the half, the Argonauts cut the Lions' lead to 11 on Pfeffer's 33-yard field goal early in the third quarter.
B.C. turned the ball over on downs on Toronto's side of half late in the quarter and Trevor Harris drove his team down the field before scoring on a two-yard plunge that with a two-point convert pass to Kevin Elliott made the score 21-18.
Pfeffer then nailed a 44-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to tie the score.
The Lions were coming off back-to-back wins over the Saskatchewan Roughriders and jumped out to a 21-0 lead largely on the back of Andrew Harris.
After an interception by Cord Parks set the Lions up at their own territory, Andrew Harris touched the ball five times on a nine-play, 73-yard scoring drive that culminated with his 10-yard TD run.
Trevor Harris was picked off for a second consecutive drive to start the game on Toronto's next possession to give the Lions the ball at midfield. Lulay completed passes to A.C. Leonard and Austin Collie before lofting a ball up for Andrew Harris, who out ran Argonauts linebacker Cory Greenwood into the end zone.
Andrew Harris then made a nice spin move on B.C.'s next drive to score from seven yards out for his third TD to cap off a six-play, 48-yard drive to make the score 21-0 after Leone's third extra point of the night.
Coming off a bye week and needing to spark his team, Trevor Harris hooked up with wide-open Elliott on a 54-yard touchdown pass with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter to cut the deficit to 21-7 before both defences locked things down for the rest of the half.
