Durant leads Alouettes past Argonauts 21-9 to spoil Trestman’s Montreal return
Montreal Alouettes head coach Jacques Chapdelaine doesn’t want to give up top spot in the CFL East.
Darian Durant threw touchdown passes to Ernest Jackson and George Johnson as the Alouettes downed the visiting Toronto Argonauts 21-9 on Friday to snap their two-game losing skid and take first place in the division. Montreal improved to 3-4 while Toronto fell to 3-5. Both teams play each other next week in Toronto.
“We want to keep moving forward and we want to hold on to first place now,” said Chapdelaine. “It’s up to us now to keep our intensity and keep executing. Today we made plays when we needed them the most. That’s the sign of a winning team.
“This was a hugely important game for us and we’re going to keep pressing forward.”
