WINNIPEG – Toronto Argonauts cornerback Byron Parker returned his ninth interception for a touchdown Friday, setting a new CFL career record.
Parker’s record-breaking interception came in the second quarter of Toronto’s game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce threw an ugly pass while under pressure from Toronto’s Lin-J Shell, and Parker stepped in front of Bombers receiver Aaron Hargreaves and took the ball 50 yards for the touchdown.

Note to readers: This is a corrected version of an earlier story. A previous version said that Byron Parker ran back an interception for 48 yards, not the correct 50 yards.
