Montreal Alouettes seek CFL playoff clinch against B.C. Lions

The Montreal Alouettes (9-2) have the opportunity to clinch a spot in the CFL playoffs this Friday night at Percival Molson Stadium. A victory against the surging B.C. Lions would secure a post-season berth and a home playoff game for Montreal. The team could also guarantee a seventh consecutive playoff appearance if the Toronto Argonauts lose to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Alouettes head coach Jason Maas emphasized the team's focus on weekly preparation following a recent 44-28 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, which ended a seven-game winning streak. Starting quarterback Davis Alexander is expected to lead the offense despite a recent calf and ankle injury sustained in Winnipeg. While MRI results showed no structural damage, Alexander has been managing the injury with treatment and a compression sleeve.
