Redblacks fall to 0-10 with loss to Alouettes
The Ottawa Redblacks are still searching for their first win, and now sit in some very lonely company.
The Ottawa Redblacks suffered their 10th straight loss of the season, bringing their record to 0-10 after falling 46-16 to the league-leading Montreal Alouettes at Molson Stadium. Quarterback Jake Maier struggled, throwing two interceptions and completing just 14 of 23 passes for 126 yards. Backup pivot McLeod Bethel-Thompson was no better, finishing with four of nine passes for 55 yards and a pick.
The Redblacks, playing with a league-high 17 players due to injuries, are now the ninth team in CFL history to lose their first 10 games in a season. This marks the longest skid since the Hamilton Wildcats lost 16 consecutive games in 1948-49. Montreal's Davis Alexander led the way with 260 passing yards and two touchdowns, while Travis Theis contributed 88 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Defensive back Kabion Ento was a key contributor, forcing two turnovers including a 49-yard fumble return for a touchdown. The Redblacks' poor performance was largely due to Montreal's discipline, as the Alouettes tallied 12 penalties for 90 yards. The loss extends Ottawa's losing streak against the Alouettes to 14 games, dating back to October 2022.
Despite the setback, Ottawa head coach Ryan Dinwiddie and players remain hopeful, emphasizing the need for individual improvement to turn things around.
