After falling one game short of a second straight trip to the Grey Cup last season, the Montreal Alouettes will enter the 2025 campaign as legit contenders once again.

2024 saw the Alouettes finish second overall in offensive points allowed while also finishing as the league’s second-best team defending the pass.
