The Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts engaged in a back-and-forth battle for Earl Grey’s Cup in 1987, which was determined with a late field goal.
The lead changed hands five times before Jerry Kauric booted a 49-yard field goal to secure a two-point victory for the Eskimos.
The fireworks went off early when Henry ‘Gizmo’ Williams fielded a missed field goal and out ran Toronto defenders for 112-yard return for a touchdown, setting a new Grey Cup record and giving the Eskimos the early lead. Toronto’s Lance Chomyc missed on two field goals in the opening 15 minutes.
