MONTREAL \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders put on a dominant performance on Saturday night, with all three phases contributing to their victory over the Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n
Brett Lauther was good on four of his five field goal attempts, but it was the offence and the defence that were the shining stars in the 34-6 win that improved the Riders to 7-1 on the season.<\/p>\n
Dohnte Meyers was a standout in the game. The Rider defence did their part as well, not allowing the Alouettes to score a single touchdown.<\/p>\n

RELATED \u00a0<\/p>\n 136 \u2013 DOHNTE MEYERS RECEVING YARDS<\/p>\n Dohnte Meyers was one of the favourite targets for Trevor Harris on Saturday night, with the receiver hauling in five of the six passes thrown his way.<\/p>\n He tallied 136 yards in the victory, averaging 27.2 yards per catch and added 48 yards after the catch. The five-foot-10, 190-pound receiver made a handful of big plays, hauling in two passes of over 30 yards, and had a pair of second down catches as well.<\/p>\n 0 \u2013 TOUCHDOWNS ALLOWED<\/p>\n The Roughriders defence was sensational at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.<\/p>\n They did not allow a single touchdown by the Montreal Alouettes, only allowing their opponent to score two field goals.<\/p>\n Mike Rose and Shane Ray had quarterback sacks while Jameer Thurman had a pick. They were active on the ball as well, with C.J. Reavis, Malik Carney, Marcus Sayles, Rolan Milligan Jr., and Tevaughn Campbell all getting knockdowns. Nelson Lokombo had three knockdowns himself.<\/p>\n 3 \u2013 TURNOVERS FORCED<\/p>\n They say winning the turnover battle is usually the key to victory. And the Saskatchewan Roughriders did just that on Saturday night.<\/p>\n The Riders defence forced three critical turnovers on the evening, a pair of turnovers on downs and an interception by Thurman, while their offence stayed perfect with zero giveaways.<\/p>\n They capitalized on those turnovers as well, scoring 11 points on a touchdown, a field goal, and a punt single.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MONTREAL \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders put on a dominant performance on Saturday night, with all three phases contributing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-43742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
