In the end, his individual numbers won’t blow you away, but he came through with a solid performance against his former team. It’s tough to blame Harris for his second-quarter fumble because the pressure got to him in a hurry. The Als moved the ball well for most of the opening 30 minutes. The 36-year-old was so sharp and efficient in the first half.

The touchdown pass to Lewis was the 150 th career touchdown pass of Trevor Harris’ career. “At the end of the day, we definitely have to fix those things and make sure we don’t give other teams life and give them another opportunity to beat us.” “I always say that penalties and turnovers are the fastest way to lose a game,” Lewis added. The Alouettes had just taken a couple of bad penalties, which was a theme on Saturday, and Lewis approached defensive end Jamal Davis to address the flags that had just been called on the team. That’s a hell of a catch though (laughs).”Īnother moment that was caught on camera occurred late in the second half. I knew I could catch it with one hand, so I just wanted to make the play and get two feet in. “I’m a late-hands type of guy when I catch the footballs, but on that one, he had my right arm inside, so I knew there was no way I was going to be able to get it up. “Honestly, that’s something that I practice,” Lewis said of making one-handed catches. GENO LEWIS!!!!! 👀👀👀 /wepRl4o8eYĮlks defensive back Ed Gainey is hanging on to Lewis for dear life and he still can’t prevent him from making the grab. The reception he made in the Edmonton end zone in the first half was simply ridiculous. We know that Geno Lewis is one of the best receivers in the game. Good teams find a way to win these games. There were penalties that extended Elks drives and penalties that negated turnovers, but the group stuck together and got the job done. A three-turnover quarter is exactly what the team needed at the time. Let’s not forget that middle linebacker Micah Awe had an interception on Edmonton’s final drive when they still had an opportunity to tie the game. Elks running back Kevin Brown ran the ball very well the entire game, but there was simply no opening for him on third-and-goal from the Montreal three-yard line. Fellow hall-of-famer Barron Miles had a 101-yard return against Toronto in 1999.Īs if that wasn’t enough, the defence made a second stop deep in their own territory when they forced a turnover on downs. Hall of Fame defensive back Dickie Harris had a 118-yard return for a touchdown in a game against Ottawa in 1972. This was the third time in franchise history that a defensive player has scored a touchdown on an interception return of at least 100 yards.

He made the big play, but Pickett tipped the ball, and others, including Marc-Antoine Dequoy, hustled up the field to make key blocks. They made some key blocks to help me get into the end zone.”īeverette is right. “I just knew it was a big moment and I just had to block the fatigue out and make the team for my teammates. “I felt my legs get heavy (laughs),” Beverette said after the game. Interception + course de 100 verges pour Tyrice Beverette!!!!Īn INT + a 100-yard RUN! /oYlZOdKZIJ Tyrice Beverette was able to snag it and run a LONG way to the end zone to give the Als the lead. This was obvious to anybody who watched the fourth quarter!Įdmonton had a one-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and they were on their way to extending that advantage when Adarius Pickett deflected a Taylor Cornelius pass up into the air. If you missed the Alouettes post-game show on Facebook Live, you can watch it right here: They’ve now won five of their last six games! 500 for the first time this season (7-7). That’s what the Alouettes defence did on Saturday afternoon in Edmonton. Good teams find a way to make clutch plays in the biggest moments. Montreal Alouettes Cheerleaders audition.
