Davis Alexander tied the record for the best start by a quarterback in CFL history last night.

Considering how that game ended, it might be a little while before he gets a chance to break the record.

Alexander improved to 8-0 to match Danny McManus for the most consecutive wins by a QB to start a CFL career.

A 10.5-point favourite prior to kick-off, the Alouettes trailed the Toronto Argonauts by as many as 18 points on Thursday Night Football.

Montreal could be found as high as 1100 to win the game live down by double digits in the third quarter.

The Alouettes found a spark with their first TD of the game in the third, then outscored Toronto 12-0 in the fourth quarter.

Alexander punched in the game-winning TD with just 1:49 remaining in regulation of the 26-25 comeback win.

Montreal improved to 4-0 with Alexander in the lineup.

The Alouettes are 0-2 when Alexander is sidelined.

Montreal remains FanDuel’s Grey Cup favourite at 230.

It appears the Alouettes can go as far as their MOP-calibre quarterback will take them.

Next up, Montreal will host the Calgary Stampeders on Thursday Night Football in Week 8, and there’s a good chance they will be without their star QB once........
