Grey Cup attention will be on Davis Alexander this week as Montreal’s quarterback brings his flawless 13-0 record as a CFL starter to the Grey Cup clash against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Nov. 16 in Winnipeg. Despite tweaking his left hamstring in the Alouettes’ victory over Hamilton in the East Division final, Alexander is determined to play. Montreal coach Jason Maas expressed confidence in Alexander’s ability to manage the injury, emphasizing the team’s goal to secure a win, with or without him. Alexander’s stellar performance of 11-0 in the regular season sets a record for the best start in CFL career history. Montreal and Saskatchewan, meeting for the third time in the Grey Cup, are gearing up for an exciting showdown. If Alexander’s mobility is affected in the final against Saskatchewan, adjustments will be made to the offensive strategy to accommodate his condition. Maas is optimistic about Alexander’s capability to perform effectively in the pocket. The upcoming Grey Cup match will mark a significant moment for both head coaches, with Maas making his second Grey Cup appearance and Saskatchewan’s Corey Mace making his coaching debut in the championship game. The Riders are eager for their long-awaited return to the Grey Cup since their victory in 2013, led by a strong performance from quarterback Trevor Harris in the West Division final. Montreal looks to secure its ninth Grey Cup title, while Saskatchewan aims to add to its four championship wins.
