The Ottawa Redblacks found themselves in the red zone five times against the Alouettes and only found the end zone once, and defensively they weren't much better. The CFL on TSN panel break down the Redblacks struggles against the dominant Alouettes.
Tyson Philpot rushed for 184 yards against the Ottawa Redblacks, and his QB Davis Alexander joined TSN's Claire Hanna to speak about his strong play, where the Alouettes are this season, and more.
Davis Alexander threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns, while Tyson Philpot and Tyler Snead had 184 and 174 rushing yards respectively as the winless Redblacks had no answers for the dominant Alouettes and remain winless.
After accepting a short pass from Davis Alexander, Tyler Snead darted through the Redblacks' defence before hopping into the end zone to further extend the Alouettes lead late in the third quarter.
Immediately after the Redblacks got back in the game with a major of their own, Davis Alexander and the Alouettes stormed down the field again, with Alexander finding a wide-open Cole Spieker to cap off the drive and extend the Alouettes lead.
With the Alouettes down to start the second quater, Daniel Adeboboye took the hand-off at the goal line and darted into the house to get one back for the Redblacks.
Late in the first quarter, Travis Theis took the hand-off from Davis Alexander and made no mistake, rumbling all the way to the house to give him a touchdown in six-straight games.
It didn't take long for Davis Alexander and the Montreal Alouettes to find the end zone, as they stormed down the field, completing a six-play, 81-yard drive to get the opening major of the game.
Following six straight losses to open the season, the Redblacks will host the East-Division leading Alouettes tonight on TSN. Ottawa QB Jake Maier is coming off a solid performance against Winnipeg where he threw for 344 yards, but he'll have a tough time against a 6-1 Montreal team that has won the last 12 meetings against the Redblacks. The CFL on TSN panel tees up all the action ahead of Friday Night Football.
The Alouettes survived a 37-35 thriller against the Redblacks in Week 4, and tonight the two teams meet again as the CFL's top-ranked offence will be taking on Ottawa's defence which is allowing the second-most yards per game, setting the stage for another potential shootout.
From highlight reel plays, to learning a new language and becoming a social media savant, Alouettes QB Davis Alexander will do anything to attract new CFL fans, including reaching out to a new target market.
