Argos and Alouettes Clash in High-Stakes Week 7 Showdown
Alright, so here's what went down in Week 7 of the CFL season — the Toronto Argonauts rolled into Montreal to take on the Alouettes, and trust me, this one had everything you want in a Canadian football showdown. Two of the East’s top contenders going head-to-head, with storylines swirling before kickoff and momentum on the line.
The spotlight coming into this game? It was squarely on the quarterbacks. For Montreal, Davis Alexander made his return to the lineup after battling a hamstring issue that had sidelined him recently. There was a lot of chatter about whether he’d be at 100%, and from what we saw, he looked sharp, mobile, and ready to remind people why he’s one of the league’s rising stars. On the flip side, Toronto was still without Chad Kelly, which meant more responsibility for backup Nick Arbuckle — a guy who's been serviceable but still finding his rhythm this season.

Now, let’s talk about the energy in Montreal. Molson Stadium was buzzing. A packed crowd under the evening lights, perfect summer football weather, and both teams came out swinging. The Als struck early, with Alexander connecting on some key plays that had the home crowd fired up. But Toronto answered — Arbuckle hit a wide-open Kurleigh Gittens Jr. in the end zone, and just like that, it was game on.
The chess match between the two defenses was something to watch. Montreal’s front line put pressure on Arbuckle all night, forcing him to make quick throws, and they disrupted Toronto’s rhythm just enough to give their offense a little breathing room. But the Argos defense wasn’t backing down either. They made Alexander work for every yard, even though he showed no signs of slowing down from his injury.
This game had the kind of intensity you’d expect from two playoff-hungry squads in the thick of a tight East Division race. And while the score swung back and forth, it was the little moments — a missed tackle here, a clutch third-down conversion there — that made the difference. It felt like both teams knew how important this matchup was, not just for the standings, but for momentum heading deeper into the season.
By the final whistle, fans were left buzzing about Alexander’s return, the Argos' resilience without Kelly, and what this means for the road ahead. Week 7 reminded us again why the CFL never fails to deliver — it’s unpredictable, it’s intense, and it’s full of storylines that just keep building week after week.
Can’t wait to see how both teams bounce back from this one. The East is heating up, and this Argos-Alouettes rivalry? It’s just getting started.
