Shiltz threw one touchdown pass and ran for another while David Cote kicked three field goals to lead the Montreal Alouettes to a 27-16 win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. It was Shiltz's first win in his third career CFL start.
Shiltz got the start for Montreal after incumbent Vernon Adams Jr. (shoulder) was injured in last week's 20-16 win over Ottawa. Shiltz finished 21-of-34 passing for 281 yards.
"It felt great," Shiltz said. "Honestly, I was more nervous on the sideline, but once you cross over those lines, it's almost more calming on the field.
"I was just so proud of how this team played. It was the definition of a team win. The offence slowed down a little bit in the second half but that's when the defence really stepped it up."
