Montreal Alouettes: The Alouettes are looking to bolster their 3-1 record with some added rest from the bye week. Davis Alexander has been outstanding and currently leads the league in yards per game at 369. Defensively, Montreal has held their opponents to a 101.8 passer rating, which is the 2nd best in the league heading into week 6.
Calgary Stampeders: The Stampeders are coming off a statement win in which Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 405 yards and six touchdowns plus a 22-yard rushing touchdown. Calgary’s offence has shown it can put up big numbers, but their defence has allowed 364.5 passing yards per game, which has been the 2nd most in the league heading into Week 6.
Alouettes Keys to the Game
Lock Down Coverage
Vernon Adams Jr. can put up big numbers and has helped Calgary sit at the top passing efficiency rating in the league heading into the week. The Alouettes need to continue to control the sky and lock down a no-fly zone against big plays. With cornerback Kabion Ento out, this task becomes more difficult.
Carefully Exploit Calgary’s Secondary
Calgary has struggled to shut down opponents’ passing games effectively early this season. If that continues, it is a perfect mismatch in Montreal’s favor. However, Montreal must continue to respect how they approach every opponent, or they could create self-inflicted wounds. Zy Alexander for Calgary currently leads the league in interceptions with 3.
Protect Alexander
Calgary defensive end Clarance Hicks is currently 2nd in sacks in the league with 3, and opposite him is another defensive end in Folarin Orimolade.
Solid Run Defense
Calgary leads the league in rushing attempts and rushing yards heading into this week. Expect Dedrick Mills to continue to be a frequent part of Calgary’s offense.
