Montreal Alouettes secure 37-25 victory over Hamilton Tiger-Cats in East Division clash
The Montreal Alouettes defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 37-25 in a CFL East Division matchup on Friday, September 18, 2026, with quarterback Davis Alexander leading the team to victory. Alexander completed 21 of 27 passes for 218 yards and threw two touchdown passes, contributing to Montreal's 7-0 record against East Division opponents this season. The Alouettes built a 24-3 halftime lead before Hamilton mounted a fourth-quarter comeback, scoring 22 consecutive points to narrow the gap to 34-25. However, a crucial interception by Gemon Green with 55 seconds remaining sealed the win for Montreal, followed by Jose Maltos Diaz's 33-yard field goal. Montreal head coach Jason Maas praised his team for handling the challenge after a recent road loss to the B.C. Lions, emphasizing the importance of taking care of business against divisional rivals. Hamilton, led by quarterback Harrison Frost, struggled with six turnovers, including four interceptions, and fell to 4-10 overall and 1-5 in the East Division. The game was part of the annual Hall of Fame game, with the Canadian Football Hall of Fame's 2026 class honored at halftime. The Alouettes' victory improved their record to 11-3, maintaining their position as a top contender in the East Division. Alexander has now won 15 consecutive games against East Division opponents, with this being his fifth win in as many meetings with Hamilton. The Alouettes also secured a 3-0 season sweep of Hamilton, though receiver Tyler Snead suffered a knee injury in the second half. Hamilton's head coach Scott Milanovich acknowledged Montreal's dominance for most of the game, stating, 'I thought they handled us for most of the game there.' The win positions Montreal as a strong contender for the East Division title and a potential playoff berth, while Hamilton remains in a challenging position with four consecutive losses and a need to secure a crossover spot for the playoffs.
