Calvillo has three touchdowns as Alouettes defeat Roughriders 34-28
REGINA – Anthony Calvillo ran in two touchdowns and passed for another as the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 34-28 on Saturday.
Adrian McPherson’s one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave Montreal the lead for good and Jamel Richardson finished with 161 yards receiving.
The Alouettes (10-6) made the most of the breezy conditions, scoring their first 27 points with the wind at their back to extend their lead atop the CFL’s East Division by six points over Toronto.
Saskatchewan (8-8) meanwhile missed a chance for the second straight week to clinch a playoff berth, though a Hamilton Tiger-Cats loss to the Calgary Stampeders later Saturday would guarantee the Riders at least a crossover spot.
