Quick Hits
Rourke racked up 375 yards through the air but the one pick he threw came at the wrong time as Montreal turned the second half into a rout.
BC actually out-gained Montreal by 119 total yards but couldn't finish drives the way the Als did on the ground, where Montreal turned just 41 rushing yards into 2 TDs.
Snead was the engine for Montreal's offense, hitting the end zone both through the air and on the ground — a must-add if you're chasing points in fantasy lineups.
