Quick Hits
Alexander didn’t throw a single interception on 30 attempts while piling up 420 yards through the air — that’s efficient and explosive at the same time.
Maier actually out-attempted and out-completed Alexander (34/41 vs 22/30) but had nothing to show for it — zero touchdowns and a pick that summed up Ottawa’s frustrating night.
Philpot and Snead combined for 358 receiving yards on just 17 catches, giving Alouettes fantasy owners a monster stat line to point to this week.
