The Alouettes have Travis Theis to thank

 Despite an offense that struggled for much of the game, the Montreal team capitalized on an inspired finish to improve its record to 6-1 this season.

The game was far from perfect for Jason Maas's team, however. The offense, usually explosive, struggled to maintain its rhythm, allowing the Tiger-Cats to take the lead after three quarters of play.

Backup quarterback Terry Wilson nevertheless kept his team in the game by scoring two touchdowns on short, one-yard runs. Meanwhile, running back Travis Theis continued his excellent run, surpassing the 100-yard rushing mark for the second consecutive week. He also scored the touchdown that sealed the victory in the very final moments of the game.

The Tiger-Cats put up a strong fight, thanks in part to a 100-yard kickoff return by Isaiah Wooden and a touchdown pass from Tre Ford to Kenny Lawler. However, the visitors were unable to hold onto their lead as the game entered its final stretch.

Special teams completely turned the game around

With Montreal trailing 18-17 in the fourth quarter, special teams completely turned the tide. A blocked punt gave the Alouettes excellent field position, setting the stage for kicker Jose Maltos Diaz.

Maltos Diaz displayed remarkable composure by making two field goals in the final three minutes of the game, allowing his team to retake the lead. An interception by Robert Kennedy III then dashed the Tiger-Cats' last hopes before Travis Theis sealed the victory with a touchdown run.

With this victory, the Alouettes continue their excellent start to the season and reaffirm their status as one of the top teams in the Canadian Football League. Montreal will now look to extend this winning streak next Friday when they visit the Ottawa Rouge et Noir.
