Quarterback Cody Fajardo threw two touchdown passes and Montreal’s defence stood tall as the Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-12 in the CFL East Division semifinal on Saturday.
The Alouettes move on to play the defending Grey Cup champion Argonauts in Toronto in next Saturday’s East final.
Montreal’s defence dominated with one forced fumble, two interceptions and several deflections. Linebacker Darnell Sankey led the way with eight tackles, two sacks and a pick. Both kickers were perfect in the game. Montreal’s David Cote went 4-for-4 on field goals, with Hamilton’s Marc Liegghio also going 4-for-4.
Montreal kicked another field goal with 1:18 left after a couple big runs from tailback William Stanback to go up 27-12. Hamilton had opened the second half with a field goal to make it 17-9 for Montreal. Ja’Gared Davis then forced a fumble on Fajardo, but the play was overturned after officials determined the Montreal QB had hit the ground first.
