The Argos have been eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight year after a 22-19 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos Friday night.
The win moves the Eskimos ahead of Winnipeg and Hamilton in the crossover playoff scenario.
Edmonton is also now tied with B.C. for third place in the West Division with 14 points.
Arkee Whitlock scored two touchdowns in the game, his second came one play after Andrew Nowacki recovered Jason Carter's fumble on a punt return and put the Eskimos on the Argos' four-yard line.
Toronto made it interesting with Kerry Joseph's two-yard T-D strike to Jeff Johnson at 12:55 of the fourth.
It was the Argos first passing touchdown in seven games, and it capped a nine-play, 102 yard drive.
