The Montreal Alouettes continued their impressive form by defeating the Ottawa Redblacks 39-28 in a thrilling match on Saturday. This victory not only extended their winning streak to five games but also tied them with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for first place in the East Division.
As the regular season nears its end, the Alouettes have a shot at securing a bye through the first round of the playoffs if they can clinch the top spot in their division.
In a closely contested game, the Alouettes showcased their strength with quarterback Davis Alexander leading the charge. Alexander set a new CFL record by winning his 11th consecutive career-opening game and displayed exceptional skill by completing 21 of 31 passes for 328 yards.
On the other side, the Redblacks struggled to contain the Alouettes’ offense, with their quarterback Tyrie Adams stepping up in the absence of the injured Dustin Crum. Despite Adams’ impressive performance of 27 completions out of 44 attempts for 278 yards and three touchdowns, the Redblacks fell short in catching up to the Alouettes.
The game saw exciting plays, including Alexander’s remarkable comeback after an early injury and key moments like interceptions that swung the momentum in favor of the Alouettes.
Looking ahead, the Redblacks will face the Tiger-Cats in their final regular-season game, while the Alouettes will travel to Winnipeg to take on the Blue Bombers in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
