Alouettes Clinch First CFL Title Since 2010, Defeating Blue Bombers 28-24 in Grey Cup

Quarterback Cody Fajardo's 19-yard touchdown pass seals victory for Montreal, marking his first Grey Cup win as a starter.

  • Cody Fajardo led the Montreal Alouettes to a 28-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Grey Cup.
  • This is the Alouettes' first CFL title since 2010, following an uncertain off-season with the franchise being taken over by the league and then sold to businessman Pierre Karl Peladeau.
  • Fajardo's winning play was a 19-yard touchdown pass to Tyson Philpot, capping a seven-play, 83-yard march.
  • The Blue Bombers had a chance to tie the game with a field goal, but the attempt fell short and Montreal recovered to end the game.
  • This is Fajardo's first Grey Cup title as a starter, having previously earned a ring with Toronto in 2017 as a backup.
