Quarterback Cody Fajardo threw two touchdown passes, William Stanback rushed 95 yards and all-star wideout Austin Mack caught a crucial TD, but it was Montreal’s defence that led the Alouettes to CFL victory on Saturday — much like it has all season.

“They know their job, they know their role, and they've got confidence and experience in it. And that's a dangerous combination.” He said the conversations he had with Maas, Thorpe, Lemon and Fajardo convinced him that Montreal, which was in the middle of a slump, was the right place to make his CFL return.
It was the third consecutive year that Hamilton and Montreal squared off at this stage of the playoffs. Montreal also won in front of a home crowd at Molson Stadium last season. Backup Bo Levi Mitchell — a two-time Grey Cup MVP — did not come into the game until late in the fourth quarter despite Shiltz’s trouble getting in the end zone. Mitchell went 1-for-4 for six yards and an interception."There's nothing to discuss there," he said.
After Montreal kicked another field goal, East Division outstanding Canadian nominee Marc-Antoine Dequoy intercepted Mitchell with 49 seconds left to ice the game, but the action wasn’t over there.
