Alouettes top Bombers 37-10, clinch East Division
The Montreal Alouettes clinched the East Division title in their 37-10 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in front of a sell-out crowd of 23,035 at Percival Molson Stadium on Saturday.
The Montreal Alouettes secured the East Division title by defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 37-10 in front of a record crowd at Percival Molson Stadium. The victory, combined with the Toronto Argonauts' loss to the B.C. Lions earlier, guaranteed Montreal's top spot and a direct entry into the Eastern Final on November 7. Star receiver Tyson Philpot broke Terry Evanshen's single-season record for receiving yards by a Canadian, with a total of 1,662 yards.
Philpot also surpassed the Alouettes franchise record for receptions, previously held by Ben Cahoon and Jamel Richardson, by catching 113 passes. The Alouettes' quarterback, Davis Alexander, threw for 440 yards and a touchdown, falling one yard short of his own all-time single-game record. Running back Caleb Evans contributed two touchdowns on one-yard rushes, while Stevie Scott III added a rushing touchdown.
Winnipeg, currently in last place in the West Division, suffered their second consecutive loss and dropped to 7-8.
