Argos quarterback Kelly preparing to make first CFL playoff start
TORONTO — Chad Kelly isn’t going to mess much with what’s been a winning formula.
Kelly enjoyed a record-setting 2023 campaign, his first as Toronto’s starting quarterback. But as he prepares to lead the Argonauts into the East Division final Saturday versus the Montreal Alouettes — Kelly’s first playoff game as a starter — the plan is to merely tinker his preparation this week.
“Mentally, no,” Kelly said following Toronto’s practice Wednesday. “Physically, a little bit, I’ve got to do more (because) it’s just crunch time.
“I definitely know it’s do or die, it’s win or go home. You must be in a different mindset to do a little bit more but you’ve got to treat it as if it were the same game you’ve been playing. Don’t overlook it and just go out and execute.”
