Alouettes Eye Perfect Home Record Against Desperate Roughriders Squad
Montreal can become just the third CFL team to finish 9-0 at home, while Saskatchewan tries to end a three-game skid.
On Monday, the Montreal Alouettes host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Percival Molson Stadium in a Thanksgiving Day matchup. With East Division top spot secured, Montreal seeks to maintain momentum while Saskatchewan fights for West Division playoff positioning.
This matchup marks the first meeting since Saskatchewan defeated Montreal 25-17 in last November's Grey Cup. Alouettes head coach Jason Maas said the team is focused on present performance rather than seeking revenge for that loss.
Montreal can improve to a perfect 9-0 at home, a feat accomplished just twice in franchise history . Saskatchewan must contain quarterback Davis Alexander and star receiver Tyson Philpot to snap a three-game losing streak.
Saskatchewan cornerback Tevaughn Campbell returns after missing eight games with a forearm injury, while top receiver KeeSean Johnson remains out with an ankle injury. Campbell called Philpot a 'great deep threat,' emphasizing the need to limit that.
Montreal clinched the division's first seed last week but aims to avoid a late-season collapse like in 2024. The Alouettes prepare to host the Eastern Final on Nov. 7 as they finish their regular season.
