Bombers' Jefferson Says Trash-Talking Family Isn't Off Limits, Unsure What Reese Said
Alexander said Reese taunted him about his father multiple times after Montreal’s 33-23 win, prompting an emotional postgame reaction.
- On Saturday, Montreal Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander accused Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman David Reese of taunting him about his deceased father during the CFL Eastern Final in Montreal.
- Alexander's father, Matt, died at age 56 from lung cancer in 2024. The taunts occurred multiple times during the Alouettes' 33-23 victory, prompting an emotional reaction from the CFL's Most Outstanding Player.
- "I don't want to air the guy out, but it wasn't just one time," Alexander said of the taunts. Reese denied the claim, stating, "I don't even know what he's talking about."
- Alouettes coach Jason Maas stated, "It's unfortunate when it crosses a line," while declining to speculate until speaking with Alexander. The team focused on securing their Grey Cup berth with the victory.
- Montreal will travel to Calgary for the Grey Cup on Nov. 15 to face the Edmonton Elks. The Alouettes advanced with a CFL-best 14-4 regular-season record before the playoff victory.
