  "account": "Montreal Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander threw for five touchdowns and 403 passing yards, surpassing 5,000 passing yards for the season, as the Alouettes defeated Saskatchewan Roughriders 44-24 in the CFL’s Thanksgiving Day Classic. Alexander, 27, joined Anthony Calvillo as the only Montreal quarterbacks to reach the 5,000-yard mark. Jerreth Sterns added 124 receiving yards on eight catches, while Charleston Rambo and Tyler Snead each scored two touchdowns. The Alouettes, who clinched first place in the East Division, returned home to host the Eastern final on Nov. 7. Saskatchewan quarterback Travis Harris also reached the 5,000-yard mark for the second time in his career, but the Riders lost their fourth consecutive game.",
