Montreal Alouettes: The Alouettes are coming off a hard-fought overtime loss in Edmonton, but showed plenty of fight. Davis Alexander threw for 356 yards and a touchdown as the offence remained productive despite the defeat. Montreal will look to bounce back in front of their home crowd and get back on the winning track.
Ottawa RedBlacks: The RedBlacks are still looking for their first win after losing 24-44 last week to Toronto. Jake Maier threw for 281 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. Ottawa struggled to get the run game going against Toronto. The team generated 4 interceptions but gave up 522 yards of net offense to Toronto last week.
Alouettes Keys to the Game
Continued Efficiency From Alexander
Alexander tore up the stats sheet again with 356 passing yards and a touchdown.
Exploit Ottawa’s Secondary
Ottawa has had a tough time slowing down opposing offenses so far this season. Tyson Philpot, Tyler Snead, and Alexander Hollins can create big plays if the Alouettes win the intermediate and deep routes.
Keep Pounding the Rock
It was positive to see so many successful run plays from Montreal, which has at times been a team to run the ball less than I’d like to see. Last week saw Travis Theis rush 19 times for 91 and a touchdown.
Pressure on Maier
Jake Maier has some added pressure to perform on his shoulders with Ottawa’s recent signing of McLeod Bethel-Thompson. Montreal can make his road trip even more uncomfortable by putting pressure on him in the backfield.
