REGINA — The Montreal Alouettes defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 27-24 on Friday night in a battle of the CFL’s top two teams.
In a game that featured six lead changes, the East-leading Alouettes improved to 9-1-0 while the Riders — who sit atop the West — dropped to 5-4-1.
The Riders went up 24-21 midway through the fourth quarter when Mitchell Picton hauled in a 33-yard pass from Harris for a touchdown. The miss capped a brutal night for Lauther, who missed four field goals, including one that cost his team dearly. Playing in his first game since suffering a knee injury on June 23, Harris got off to a good start, leading the Riders into the red zone on four drives in the first 20 minutes of the game.
