Ottawa Redblacks look to break through against stingy Montreal Alouettes
For a second straight week, the Redblacks will attempt to clinch an East Division playoff spot with a victory. Ottawa was in a similar situation Saturday in Hamilton but dropped a 37-21 decision to the Tiger-Cats at Tim Hortons Field.
The Redblacks haven’t been to the CFL postseason since losing 27-16 to Calgary in the 2018 Grey Cup game. They’ve finished fourth in the East Division in each of the previous four years with a combined 14-54 record. But punching its playoff ticket won’t come easily for Ottawa, which hosts defending-champion Montreal on Saturday afternoon. The Alouettes defeated the Redblacks 47-21 on June 20 at Molson Stadium and are coming off a 19-19 tie with Calgary.
Brown will get the start again for Ottawa after being replaced by veteran Jeremiah Masoli in the second half against Hamilton. The Redblacks are a stellar 6-0-1 at TD Place this season but Montreal counters with a 5-0 road record.Montreal has already clinched a postseason berth but can cement a home playoff date with the combination of a win over Ottawa and Toronto Argonauts home loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.
Ottawa will be without standout linebacker Adarius Pickett. The East Division’s top defensive player last season suffered a season-ending torn Achilles last week against Hamilton.At Toronto, Hamilton looks for a third straight victory and to sweep the three-game season series with its long-time rival. More importantly, a victory would move the Ticats to within four points of the third-place Argos in the East Division standings.
