Argos get punt blocked by Blue Bombers in Grey Cup, keep football due to ‘loose ball interference’

The rules North of the Border are different than in the NFL when it comes to the CFL.

The strangest of plays took place at the end of the third quarter on Sunday in the Grey Cup.

Winnipeg blocked a punt by Toronto. In the scramble for the loose football, a Blue Bomber blocked/pushed an Argo out of the way.

Out came the penalty flag. The officials huddled and announced that even though Winnipeg had blocked the punt and recovered it, the possession would go to Toronto.

The call was “loose ball interference.” Sounds like something out of a Toronto Raptors game.
