MONTREAL — Cody Fajardo knows the roles are reversed. The reigning Grey Cup MVP still likes where his Montreal Alouettes stand compared to the Toronto Argonauts 12 months ago, because they know what it takes to win as the underdog.
The reigning Grey Cup MVP still likes where his Montreal Alouettes stand compared to the Toronto Argonauts 12 months ago, because they know what it takes to win as the underdog.
“We understood what it took, how locked in we were last year in order to beat the best team in the CFL, and so we know what it takes to win or lose this game tomorrow.” Meanwhile, Montreal went 2-4-1 in its last seven games and hasn’t played a meaningful contest since clinching first in the East on Sept. 28 — despite losing 37-31 to Toronto on that same date.
Kelly, last year’s most outstanding player, missed the first nine games of this season for violating the CFL’s gender-based violence policy. However, one area Montreal still excels in is limiting explosiveness. The Alouettes allowed the fewest 30-yard completions this season.
