Argonauts snap Alouettes win streak with 37-18 victory as Fajardo exits with injury
MONTREAL — Star Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo exited with an injury as the Toronto Argonauts snapped Montreal’s unbeaten run with a 37-18 victory Thursday.
Janarion Grant sparked Toronto (3-2) with a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the dying moments of the first half as the Argos handed the reigning Grey Cup champions their first loss this season. It was the third-longest kick return in Argos history.
Cameron Dukes threw 131 yards with one TD pass on 16-for-20 completions for Toronto, which entered the game at Molson Stadium on a two-game losing skid that started with a 30-20 defeat to the Alouettes on June 28.
Montreal (5-1) lost its first game since falling to Toronto on Sept. 15 last season, ending a club-record 13-game run including playoffs and the Grey Cup.
