Alouettes storm back to take down Ticats in OT
CBC
It goes down as their third win of the season but it means much more than that to Vernon Adams Jr. and the Montreal Alouettes.
David Côté's 36-yard field goal in overtime earned Montreal a come-from-behind 23-20 win over Hamilton on Saturday.
Not only did the Alouettes erase a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit for their first victory in three games, they also halted the Tiger-Cats' home win streak at 11 contests before a Tim Hortons Field sellout of 18,000.
"It says we're fighters and we're going to stick together no matter what," Adams Jr. said. "We're going to stick together and we're going to fight together."
Côté's winning boot came after Montreal's Chris Ackie recovered Sean Thomas Erlington's fumble on Hamilton's first possession of overtime.
"Everybody is just relieved," Montreal linebacker Patrick Levels said. "Excited but relieved to finally get that monkey off our back.
"Getting out of that losing streak was everything. Beating them here is great but at the end of the day, it didn't matter who it was, we just had to win. It just happened to be Hamilton."
