Alexander Leads Alouettes Past Roughriders to Finish Perfect Home Season

Montreal secured a perfect home regular season with a 44-24 victory over Saskatchewan at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon, October 12, 2026. Davis Alexander threw for 403 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Alouettes to their 13th win in 16 games and their second 9-0 home campaign in franchise history.

Alexander recorded the first five-touchdown passing game of his career, completing three scoring passes of at least 45 yards. According to the game report published by the Canadian Football League, Jerreth Sterns led Montreal with 124 receiving yards, while Charleston Rambo, Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead each surpassed 70 receiving yards and scored touchdowns.

Montreal recovered from an early interception by Marcus Sayles to establish its offensive rhythm. Alexander connected with Snead for a nine-yard touchdown in the first quarter before finding Rambo for a 45-yard score in the second, helping the Alouettes regain the lead after Trevor Harris connected with Kian Schaffer-Baker for Saskatchewan's first touchdown.

Philpot caught a 12-yard pass late in the second quarter as Montreal added a field goal. Alexander and Harris both surpassed 5,000 passing yards for the season during the game, while Brett Lauther's 51-yard field goal brought Saskatchewan within one point at 17-16 early in the third quarter.

Alexander then extended Montreal's advantage with a 46-yard touchdown pass to Philpot and a 51-yard scoring connection with Rambo. The two plays helped the Alouettes build a 31-16 lead and put the game increasingly out of reach for the visiting team.

A drive lasting nearly eight minutes carried into the fourth quarter and ended with Alexander's fifth touchdown pass, a five-yard connection with Snead. Geoffrey Cantin-Arku subsequently intercepted Harris, setting up another Montreal field goal. Saskatchewan scored again through Harris and Schaffer-Baker, but José Maltos Díaz added a 32-yard field goal with 50 seconds remaining to establish the final 44-24 margin.

Harris finished with 243 passing yards and two touchdown passes to Schaffer-Baker, who scored in both the first and fourth quarters. AJ Ouellette contributed 77 rushing yards on 11 carries, according to the game report. The defeat dropped Saskatchewan to 8-8 and extended its losing streak to four games, leaving its playoff prospects under pressure with two regular-season weeks remaining.

Montreal improved to 13-3 and maintained its unbeaten home record. The Alouettes and Roughriders are scheduled to meet again in Regina on Saturday, October 17, for their Week 20 rematch. Saskatchewan will attempt to end its four-game slide, while Montreal can complete a regular-season sweep of the series for the second time in three years.
