MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have clinched a spot in the playoffs. Next up for quarterback Cody Fajardo and co. is securing home-field advantage to begin the post-season.
Montreal looks to sweep an East Division rival as they host the Ottawa Redblacks on Thanksgiving Monday, a week after a 32-15 win in the nation's capital.
“If we can clinch as early as possible that will help us in terms of holding out some of our stuff, maybe putting out a vanilla offence so then we can really dive into our game plan for the playoff game." Despite the season being all but over, Ottawa head coach Bob Dyce says his team is intent on putting its best foot forward on Monday.
The Alouettes are missing wide receiver Kaion Julien-Grant, kicker David Cote, defensive back Zach Lindley, linebacker Bryce Notree and, most notably, running back William Stanback.
