Alexander Returns, Sets CFL Record as Alouettes Top Stampeders 38-20

His return after an eight-game hamstring absence underscores how Montreal’s results hinge on his availability.

Overview

  • He completed 26 of 36 passes for 350 yards with one touchdown in his first game back from a hamstring injury.
  • Montreal improved to 8-7 with a third straight victory, while Calgary fell to 8-6 with a third consecutive loss.
  • Short-yardage specialist Shea Patterson scored three rushing touchdowns, and Charleston Rambo added a 42-yard touchdown catch.
  • Calgary’s Vernon Adams Jr. went 19-for-29 for 238 yards with one touchdown and one interception, rushed for 37 yards, and surpassed 3,000 passing yards for the season despite a recent back issue.
  • Montreal went 3-7 without Alexander this season after he matched Danny McManus’s 8-0 career-start mark in July before re-aggravating his hamstring.
