How it turned
Saskatchewan actually led after the first quarter, 10-7, thanks to a 43-yard Brett Lauther field goal and a 27-yard touchdown strike from Trevor Harris to Kian Schaffer-Baker as time expired in the opening frame.
But Montreal flipped the script in the second quarter. A 45-yard touchdown pass from Alexander to Charleston Rambo, a Jose Maltos Diaz field goal, and the Alouettes had the lead at halftime, 17-13.
The third quarter is where the game got away from Saskatchewan. Montreal answered a Lauther field goal with touchdown strikes to Tyson Philpot on a 46-yard play and to Rambo again, this one covering 51 yards, pushing the lead to 31-16 by the end of the third.
Montreal put the finishing touches on it early in the fourth with a five-yard touchdown pass from Alexander to Tyler Snead, part of a 13-point final quarter that made the final 44-24.
