Alouettes eager for rematch with Bombers after last-play loss in Winnipeg
MONTREAL — If their last meeting was an indication, the clash Thursday night between the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers should be quite the offensive spectacle.
On July 28 in Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers erased a 12-point Montreal lead in the last minute to win 41-40 on a final-play touchdown by Andrew Harris.
The victory began a four-game winning run for Winnipeg (6-2), which topped Edmonton 33-26 last week to end the Eskimos’ seven-game streak.
The Alouettes (3-5) are still smarting from their worst loss of the season, a 38-6 setback in Toronto in which they trailed 35-0 at halftime and then got their only points on an interception by linebacker Dominique Tovell.
