Winnipeg gashed Montreal for 451 total yards and never let the Als get within a possession in the second half.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers put together their most complete game in weeks, riding a balanced attack to a 44-28 win over the Montreal Alouettes at Princess Auto Stadium. Winnipeg improves to 6-5 and climbs back into the West Division mix, while Montreal drops to 9-2 but still sits atop the East with plenty of cushion. This one wasn't close after halftime — the Bombers outscored the Als 27-14 over the final two quarters and just kept pouring it on.

Quick Hits
Davis Alexander threw four touchdown passes and still lost — Montreal's defense had no answer for Winnipeg's ground game, which piled up 127 yards and three scores on just 27 carries.
Tyler Snead caught three touchdowns on only six catches, turning nearly every target into a chunk play, but it wasn't enough to keep pace.
Bryce Perkins didn't throw a pass but scored twice on the ground, a wrinkle that clearly gave Montreal's defense fits near the goal line.
