The 1960 Toronto Argonauts finished in first place in the Eastern Conference with a 10–4–0 record. Their first-place finish earned them a bye to the Eastern Finals. The Argonauts lost both games of the two-game, total point Finals to the eventual Grey Cup champion Ottawa Rough Riders .
Preseason Edit
After playing (and losing to) the NFL Chicago Cardinals in 1959, the Argonauts hosted the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers at CNE Stadium on August 3 in the second of three interleague games hosted in Toronto
and lost 43–16. Both teams used 12 players, with a handful of NFL rules (blocking, punt returns) blended in to the Canadian game.
