Montreal Alouettes seek first win against Toronto Argonauts in fourth matchup of the season between East Division rivals
Cody Fajardo and the Montreal Alouettes are on a nice roll and enjoying their best season since 2012, but they will be decided underdogs Saturday afternoon.
The win was Montreal’s sixth straight and followed a second-place finish in East with an 11-7 record. The 11-win campaign was the franchise’s first since 2012 and followed a tumultuous off-season that saw the CFL take over operation before selling it to Quebec billionaire Pierre Karl Peladeau. But the Alouettes face a huge challenge Saturday. Not only did Toronto tie the CFL record for most regular-season wins, it swept the three-game season series with Montreal and finished 10-0 within the East Division.
Kelly has also rushed seven times for 27 yards and two touchdowns. But Toronto’s biggest running threat has been A.J. Ouellette, who accumulated 253 yards and three TDs on 43 carries versus Montreal. Montreal’s defence was the CFL’s best against the pass and third in fewest offensive points . It also kept Hamilton out of the end zone last weekend and is a solid with the additions of defensive lineman Shawn Lemon and linebacker Darnell Sankey.
