CFL Toronto 41 at B.C. 52 (1991) - 1st Overtime

Often overlooked in lists of the greatest CFL games of all time is this 1991 classic between the Toronto Argonauts and the B.C. Lions. It had just about everything you could want. The Argos jumped out to a huge lead with four early touchdowns, only to fall behind 38-31 before tying the game in the final minute of the fourth quarter. In OT, the Lions scored on a kickoff return by Ray Etheridge and a third-down rushing TD by rookie of the year Jon Volpe. The guy Volpe beat out for that honour, Toronto's Raghib (Rocket) Ismail, scored his first CFL touchdown on a 12-yard sweep, had a couple of big kick returns but fumbled late in the game. Mike (Pinball) Clemons scored one of his eight career punt return touchdowns for Toronto, Doug Flutie had some huge plays for the Lions. Darrell K. Smith scored three Toronto TDs. This segment shows top plays from the first overtime period, featuring Willie Gillus at the controls for the Argos, and a Raymond (the MIssile) Etheridge kickoff-return TD for the game-winning points.
