The Montreal Alouettes defeated the Calgary Stampeders 38-32 in a high-scoring CFL matchup on Saturday, with quarterback Davis Alexander setting a league record for consecutive pass attempts without an interception.
For context, the Alouettes (5-1) have now won eight straight against the Stampeders (2-4), dating back to 2022, including a 37-30 victory the previous week.
Alexander Sets CFL Record in Alouettes Victory
Alexander, playing through a left hamstring issue, completed 25 of 32 passes for 402 yards and three touchdowns. His 336 consecutive pass attempts without an interception surpassed Darian Durant’s previous mark of 323, a streak dating back to July 2025.
“Great coaching, great play calls, great execution, great protection,” Alexander said of his record. “Just knowing what you’re supposed to do every single day, day in and day out.”
Stampeders’ Late Rally Falls Short
The game followed a familiar pattern: Montreal built a 22-0 lead early in the second quarter, only for Calgary to mount a late comeback. The Stampeders tied the game 32-32 with three minutes remaining, but a 27-yard touchdown pass from Alexander to Kaseem Ferdinand sealed the win for the Alouettes.
Calgary’s final drive ended when Jalen Philpot couldn’t hold onto a pass in the end zone, mirroring a similar play in the teams’ previous meeting. The Stampeders have now lost three games in the final minute and another in overtime this season.
