The 84th Grey Cup, also known as The Snow Bowl, was the 1996 Grey Cup Canadian Football League championship game played between the Toronto Argonauts and the Edmonton Eskimos at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton, Ontario. The Argonauts won the game by a score of 43–37 in controversial fashion.^[1] Financial problems nearly prevented the game from happening before Tim Hortons stepped in and provided the money needed to pay both teams' wages for the game.^[2]

Game summary

Toronto Argonauts (43) - TDs, Jimmy Cunningham, Robert Drummond, Doug Flutie, Adrion Smith; FGs, Mike Vanderjagt (5); cons., Vanderjagt (4).

Edmonton Eskimos (37) - TDs, Eddie Brown, Jim Sandusky, Henry "Gizmo" Williams, Eric Blount, Marc Tolbert; cons., Sean Fleming (5); safety touch

The temperature at game time was -10 °C, with 20 km/h winds and heavy snow. Tractors had to remove snow from the field prior to the game, as well as at halftime.

Edmonton had all the points in the first quarter on a safety touch conceded by Toronto quarterback Doug Flutie and a 64-yard touchdown pass from Danny McManus to Eddie Brown, a shoestring catch that slipped through his hands then bounced off his right thigh and left shin before he caught it on the fly. It is considered to be of the most memorable plays in Grey Cup history.^[3]

In the second quarter, Toronto's Mike Vanderjagt kicked a field goal and Jimmy Cunningham returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown. Another Vanderjagt field goal put Toronto up 13–9. Edmonton regained the lead with a 75-yard pass and run from McManus to Jim Sandusky but lost it again when Robert Drummond scored for Toronto from the one. Edmonton's Henry "Gizmo" Williams reversed that in one play as he returned the kickoff 91 yards for the touchdown, a Grey Cup record that stood until the Eskimos' Tony Tompkins topped it with a 95-yard kickoff return in the 93rd Grey Cup. Flutie marched the Argos to the Edmonton 10 then ran in himself for the touchdown with 20 seconds left in the half to give Toronto the lead 27–23 at halftime, closing a quarter that saw the teams combine for 41 points.

Two Vanderjagt field goals were all the scoring in the first 23 minutes of the second half as Toronto receiver Cunningham dropped certain touchdown passes in the third and fourth quarters.

Edmonton cut the Toronto lead to 33–30 on Eric Blount's five-yard touchdown run with seven minutes remaining. But Flutie marched Toronto 71 yards, including a controversial third-down gamble in which Flutie fumbled the snap but was ruled not only to have retained possession but to have gained a first down. Their drive thus extended, the Argonauts increased their lead to 36–30 on Vanderjagt's 27-yard field goal at 13:26.

Toronto's Adrion Smith iced the win, returning a Danny McManus interception 49 yards for a touchdown with 1:22 remaining.

McManus hit Marc Tolbert with a seven-yard touchdown pass at 14:51 to round out the scoring at 43–37. A short kickoff attempt was recovered by Toronto to end any Edmonton comeback threat.

In popular culture

The game serves as a key plot point to a 2013 episode of the American TV series How I Met Your Mother.^[4] In the episode, teen idol Robin Sparkles derails her music career during the game's halftime show by unveiling her new grunge persona, Robin Daggers, which triggers her move to the United States, entry into journalism and joining the program's core cast.^[5] In reality, the halftime act for the contest was The Nylons.

-Edmonton cut the Toronto lead to 33-30 on [[Eric Blount]]'s five-yard touchdown run with seven minutes remaining. But Flutie marched Toronto 71 yards, including a controversial third-down gamble in which the ball came loose, setting up Vanderjagt's 27-yard field goal at 13:26. In the controversial third-down gamble, Flutie fumbled the ball and an Eskimo picked up the fumble and started running to the Toronto endzone to score what would have been a touchdown and a 36-33 lead for the Eskimos, with a converted Edmonton point-after convert putting Toronto down 37-33 and down by more than a field goal (needing a touchdown to take the lead). But the referees ruled that Flutie was down by contact, when clearly Flutie had fumbled the ball well before the play was stopped. The referees then made the ruling even worse when they judged Flutie's forward progress to have reached the first-down marker when replays clearly showed Flutie to be short of the first down marker by over a foot. In any case, Flutie's forward progress should have been a non-issue, given that he had fumbled the ball during the snap. With the score twisted in the Argos' favour (33-30 Toronto) by the misruling of the on-field officials, and then the Argos also getting a first down when Edmonton clearly stopped the Argos' third-down gamble, the first down for Toronto allowed the Argonauts to take time off the clock, and to also kick a field goal to make the score 36-30 Toronto. It has been judged in hindsight to be the biggest blown call in official [[Jake Ireland]]'s career.{{Citation needed|date=February 2013}}

-==Trivia==
-{{unreferenced section|date=February 2013}}
-Edmonton Kicker [[Sean Fleming (football player)|Sean Fleming]] missed three field goal attempts.
-The dismal weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the raucous gathering of 38,595, which was the biggest ever at [[Ivor Wynne Stadium]] but still 1,805 short of a sellout. It was also the smallest announced Grey Cup attendance since 32,454 attended the [[63rd Grey Cup|1975 game]] in Calgary.
-Before the game, many people believed that Flutie could not play well in cold weather. Flutie, who was the [[CFL's Most Outstanding Player]] this season, was also named the [[Grey Cup Most Valuable Player|game's top performer]]. Teammate [[Mike Vanderjagt]], who booted five field goals, was voted the [[Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian]].
-It was the second-highest scoring Grey Cup game, next to Saskatchewan's 43-40 win over Hamilton in [[77th Grey Cup|1989]].
-It was the Argonauts' first Cup win since 1991. Ironically, they did it in the stadium that had often been called "Never Win" by the Argo fans due to the team's consistent failure to beat the [[Hamilton Tiger-Cats]] at that venue.
-Toronto's 27 points in the second quarter came close to tying the Grey Cup record of 28 points in one quarter, set in [[78th Grey Cup|the 1990 Grey Cup]].
