MONTREAL — The league-leading Montreal Alouettes swept the Ottawa Redblacks for the second consecutive season with a 19-12 win on a dreary Thanksgiving Monday.
Davis Alexander finished 14-of-24 passing for 208 yards, one interception and one rushing touchdown in his first start since Aug. 17 for Montreal , which has already clinched first place in the East Division.
The playoff-bound Redblacks failed to regain second place in the East after Toronto beat Winnipeg on Friday. Maltos’s field goal put the Alouettes up 16-9 to start the fourth quarter. On the ensuing drive, Alouettes defensive back Wesley Sutton intercepted a botched throw by Masoli at the Montreal 17.
After a Montreal offside, Masoli threw into the end zone for Andre Miller, but Sutton broke up the pass. Helped by two Ottawa penalties, Alexander rushed nine yards into the end zone at 13:29 of the second quarter to cap a seven-play, 66-yard drive.
