Nick Arbuckle Named MVP in Grey Cup

Toronto Argonauts quarterback Nick Arbuckle was named the Most Valuable Player of the 111th Grey Cup after leading his team to a 41-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Arbuckle stepped in as a starter after Chad Kelly suffered a broken ankle in the East Division Final, marking the first playoff start of his career. He completed 26 of 37 passes for 252 yards and threw two touchdowns, including a crucial 17-yard pass to Dejon Brissett, who was also named Most Outstanding Canadian. This victory secured the Argonauts their 19th Grey Cup title, further solidifying their dominance over Winnipeg with an 8-0 record in Grey Cup matchups. Arbuckle's performance was particularly remarkable given his history as a journeyman quarterback, having played for multiple teams and nearly considering retirement just weeks before the game. His journey and resilience were highlighted as he accepted the trophy with his children, reflecting on the lessons learned throughout his career.
