Team Performance and Future Prospects
The Alouettes, with a season record of 9-7, aimed for their fifth consecutive victory against the Redblacks, who held a record of 4-12. Montréal has not lost to Ottawa in their last ten encounters, with their last defeat dating back to over three years ago. The last time they fell to Ottawa was on October 10, 2022, while the team was under interim coach Danny Maciocia.
Looking ahead, the Alouettes are in contention for the top spot in the Eastern Division. They must secure victories over both the Redblacks and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the coming weeks. Additionally, they will need Ottawa to defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to clinch the division title.
Quarterback Changes
Following the injury to Dustin Brown, who started the match against Montréal, Tyrie Adams will take over as the starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the Alouettes. Brown suffered a head injury, prompting the shift for Ottawa.
As the Alouettes continue their push for postseason success, Davis Alexander remains a pivotal figure. His determination and skills on the field will be closely watched as he attempts to navigate his team to victory amidst challenges.
