"We believed when nobody else would believe. And that's why we're Grey Cup champions."
If you needed to sum up the 110th Grey Cup to somebody who didn't watch, just take those words from Montreal lineman Shawn Lemon.
The Montreal Alouettes shocked the CFL world on Sunday, as Cody Fajardo's touchdown to Tyson Philpot with 15 seconds left lifted Montreal to a Grey Cup win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Montreal Alouettes shocked the CFL world on Sunday, as Cody Fajardo's touchdown to Tyson Philpot with 15 seconds left lifted Montreal to a Grey Cup win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Montreal was down, but never out at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton. While the Blue Bombers jumped out to an early two-score lead, the Alouettes never let them get far too out of hand. Led by Fajardo, the Alouettes scored twice in the final quarter, including the last-second score by Philpot, to give the club its first CFL championship since 2010.
Lemon's postgame comments were true — no one expected Montreal to be the last team standing in the CFL this season. After an 11-7 regular season, the Alouettes were viewed as a team that could beat the clubs below them, but never above them.
However, the Alouettes believed. They knocked off the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the defending champion Toronto Argonauts and the four-time West champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers to win their first title in over a decade. That is one impressive resume.
Fajardo was named Grey Cup MVP after his sensational performance. The veteran QB finished the day 21-for-26 for 290 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, picking up his second CFL title and first as a starting QB.
