Game Summary

The Montreal Alouettes were looking for a strong performance from QB Tracy Ham, who was back for his second game since an early season back injury, in order to move closer to the Eastern leaders. Winnipeg, on the other hand had just come off a big win over Edmonton the week before. A quiet first quarter saw both teams record a field goal.
