The sky falls on the Montreal Alouettes’ nest

The Alouettes made a great comeback against the Argos, but it was a costly victory. Quarterback Davis Alexander is back on the injured list.

Alexander injured his thigh on the game-winning touchdown late in the game. He was able to finish the sequence with the two-point conversion, but soon after the game, it was learned that he could be out again soon. Davis Alexander has finally been placed on the injured list for, at the very least, the next six games. Needless to say, this is a huge loss for the Alouettes. Coach Jason Maas' team hasn't won a game this year without the services of its starting quarterback:

“He's not here (at practice) and won't be playing this week. And as you're going to ask me every time, when he's not here, it means he's not going to play…” replied Maas, rather curtly

. The chief pilot also confirmed the identity of the quarterback who will be behind center for the next game against the Stampeders:

“The situation at quarterback is exactly the same as it was a few weeks ago. McLeod (Bethel-Thompson) will be the starter and then we'll see. We have two other guys who can step in at any time.”

Davis Alexander, unbeaten as a starter

Montreal Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander maintains a perfect 8-0 record as a starter, matching a CFL all-time performance.

However, this feat is not without consequences. Crossing the goal line, Alexander again injured his previously stricken left hamstring; he grabbed his thigh immediately after the play and did not return for the final sequence.

While the Alouettes remain unbeaten with Alexander, the franchise finds itself at a crossroads…
