The defending Grey Cup champions might be on a two-game winning streak, but a cautious Marc Trestman isn’t ready to proclaim that his team has turned the corner just yet.

“We have a long way to go. We’ve won a couple of games over the last few weeks, but we haven’t anointed ourselves,” the Toronto Argonauts’ head coach said Thursday, after the team arrived for Friday night’s game against the Alouettes — the club Trestman coached for five seasons and two CFL championships.

“We know the razor-thin divide between the best and the last in our league.”

The Argos have a 3-5 record following a pair of one-point victories — both at home — over Ottawa and British Columbia, respectively. Toronto trailed the Redblacks 38-14 in the second half, only to outscore the visitors 22-3 in the fourth quarter.

The Argos were 3-5 following eight games in 2017 as well and played the Als, at home, in their ninth game. They won that day and captured five of their final seven games to finish 9-9 before upsetting Calgary in the title game.
