Montreal Alouettes prepare for rematch with Edmonton Elks

The Montreal Alouettes will try to settle a score when they host the Edmonton Elks on Saturday at Molson Stadium. Montreal enters the game at 71, while Edmonton is 62. Edmonton won the teams’ first meeting on June 20, taking a 3229 overtime victory in Edmonton. That result gave Montreal its only loss of the season and marked the first regularseason defeat of Davis Alexander’s CFL starting career. Alexander has been one of Montreal’s key strengths this season, and the matchup brings together two of the league’s top passing offenses. Edmonton’s Cody Fajardo and Montreal’s Alexander rank near the top in passing yards, while several receivers on both teams have produced strong numbers. Both clubs also bring strong defenses into the matchup. Edmonton leads the league in turnovers forced and fewest offensive points allowed, while Montreal is among the best in those categories as well. The article notes that Edmonton running back Justin Rankin has slowed after a strong start, while Montreal has been unbeaten at home this season and has won six straight at Molson Stadium.
