Davis Alexander picked apart Ottawa for 260 yards and the Alouettes ran away with it early.
The Montreal Alouettes put up 46 points and 466 total yards in a rout of the Ottawa Redblacks at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium. Montreal improves to 9-1 and keeps its grip on top spot in the East, while Ottawa drops to 0-10 with the loss. Three Redblacks interceptions and a defense that couldn’t get off the field turned this into a laugher by halftime.
