MONTREAL — Star Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo exited with an injury as the Toronto Argonauts snapped Montreal’s unbeaten run with a 37-18 victory Thursday.
Janarion Grant sparked Toronto with a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the dying moments of the first half as the Argos handed the reigning Grey Cup champions their first loss this season. It was the third-longest kick return in Argos history.
Fajardo left at the end of the first quarter, holding his hamstring after throwing an incomplete pass before heading to the locker room. The Grey Cup MVP was hurried five times, hit twice and sacked twice before exiting. The Saskatchewan Roughriders , who visit the B.C. Lions on Saturday, are the only remaining undefeated CFL team this season.
Evans, trying to spark a Montreal offence that earned only one first down in the second half, threw his second turnover of the game on the ensuing possession with a long pass attempt downfield.The game started with a sloppy first quarter before the action picked up midway through the second as both teams traded score after score.
The Argos made it 17-9 with 2:15 remaining when Dukes connected with Damonte Coxie on a 10-yard toss.
