ALOUETTES STEAL 29-28 WIN OFF TIGER-CATS
MONTREAL – David Cote of the Montreal Alouettes kicked a 48-yard field goal on the final play of the game to steal a 29-28 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Percival Molson Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Ticats had pulled away with 14 points in the fourth quarter but the Alouettes regained the lead with 2:18 to go. Kicker Seth Small placed a late 53-yard attempt through the uprights but Cote had other plans.
The kicker closed the deal with his last second heroics and his teammates stormed the field in celebration.
Quarterback Matthew Shiltz made a return to Montreal after playing four seasons with the Alouettes. Shiltz passed for 303 yards and two touchdowns. Receiver Tim White notched two TDs.
Montreal’s Trevor Harris passed for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
The Tiger-Cats (3-6) took an early lead when Shiltz found White with a 10-yard pass. White was tackled but stretched his arm to get the football beyond the goal line.
