Big concerns for the Montreal Alouettes

The Alouettes pulled off a spectacular and improbable comeback against the Toronto Argonauts. However, this important victory stemmed from a worrying situation.

The Sparrows were down 25-7 in the dying seconds of the third quarter. Thanks to key plays by the defensive unit and an opportunistic offense at the right time, the Alouettes were able to win a 4th game this season:

“I left the field telling the defense ‘If you take the ball back, we're going to score.' Fortunately for me, they ripped the ball away and we took over the offense at the 21. (Marc-Antoine) Dequoy came up to me and said ‘We took the ball back!'. We knew we were going to score” – Davis Alexander in post-game interview

The Alouettes' star marauder was able to apply pressure on the Argos' quarterback in a blitz situation. It was

an amazing game, one of the craziest in my career. To never give up, that's the identity we want to demonstrate. It's in difficult moments that you see the true identity of a team. There was a heavy atmosphere in the dressing room at half-time. It would have been easy to point the finger, but we're not a team that does that” – M-A Dequoy

Another injury for Davis Alexander

The Alouettes' new quarterback was back in action after missing the last two games and enjoying a week off. This victory came at a price, as Alexander injured his thigh as he crossed the end zone in the 4th quarter.

“Whew… it's pretty similar to the last time I got hurt,” he said after the game

Alexander, who is now 8-0 as a starter since the start of his CFL career, was also affected by a hamstring injury. The organization and fans hope that this injury won't have to force Davis Alexander to miss any more games. The Alouettes are undefeated with Alexander and haven't won without him. The message is clear: we'll see what happens next…
