Davis Alexander Leads Montreal Alouettes to 37-25 Road Win over Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Montreal forced six turnovers and improved to 7-0 against East Division rivals as Davis Alexander finished 21 of 27 for 218 yards.
On Friday, the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 37-25 in the annual Hall of Fame game, with quarterback Davis Alexander throwing two touchdown passes to lead Montreal to its 11th win.
Hamilton's struggles continued after committing six turnovers, while East Division leaders Montreal improved to 7-0 in conference play. The Tiger-Cats have now suffered a fourth consecutive loss.
Passing for 218 yards, Alexander anchored the offense while linebacker Nate Beauchemin returned a fumble 57 yards for a touchdown. Running back Stevie Scott added 108 rushing yards on 21 carries.
Inductees Brandon Banks and Frank Ivy headlined the Canadian Football Hall of Fame's 2026 class honored at halftime. Alexander's victory secured a 3-0 season sweep of Hamilton.
Saturday afternoon, the Toronto Argonauts can clinch a post-season berth and home playoff game with a win over the Edmonton Elks, an opportunity created by Hamilton's defeat.
Tyson Philpot warned us: the Hamilton Tiger-Cats were going to pay for the bitter defeat suffered by the Alouettes in British Columbia last week. Obviously he was telling the truth.
