  "account": "MONTREAL – Davis Alexander led the Montreal Alouettes to a dominant 48-30 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Saturday, throwing four touchdown passes and rushing for his first major of the year. The Alouettes, now 8-1, extended their winning streak to six games. Tyson Philpot, the league’s receiving yards leader, caught three of Alexander’s four touchdowns and added 131 receiving yards. The Alouettes' defense, led by Gemon Green and Tyrice Beverette, also made crucial plays, forcing turnovers and blocking a punt. Edmonton's Tyler Snead and Kylan Guidry had notable contributions, but a late game struggle saw the Elks fall short. This win marks the Elks' first home loss of the season and their first at the hands of the Alouettes.",
