It was nearly deja vu for the Montreal Alouettes as they picked up a 33-23 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday night.

Hamilton quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell had a quick night, as Taylor Powell replaced him near the end of the first quarter after he threw an interception. Powell finished with an impressive 319 passing yards, 52 rushing yards and two touchdown passes. The Tiger-Cats won the time of possession and had more net offensive yards than the Als.

Montreal quarterback Davis Alexander had another solid outing with 247 passing yards and two touchdowns. His top target was Charleston Rambo, who had six catches for 124 yards and two scores. Linebacker Darnell Sankey performed well with six tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery. The Alouettes won the turnover battle, forcing a pair and giving up none.

Hamilton’s record drops to 2-7 on the season. The Alouettes, once again, hold the best record in the CFL at 8-1.
