The Montreal Alouettes overcame a slow start Friday night to defeat the B.C. Lions 3730 at Percival Molson Stadium in Montreal. After trailing 127 at halftime, Montreal improved on both sides of the ball in the second half and secured its 10th win of the CFL season.
Quarterback Davis Alexander completed 25 of 34 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown, while Tyler Snead scored both a receiving and rushing touchdown. Rookie Liam Talbot also added his first CFL touchdown, and linebacker Tyrice Beverette turned a secondhalf interception into a 57yard picksix that helped swing the game.
The result clinched Montreal’s first playoff berth of the season and guaranteed the team a home playoff game. B.C. quarterback Nathan Rourke passed for 375 yards and two touchdowns, but his interception proved costly as the Lions’ fivegame winning streak ended.
