WINNIPEG - Sean Whyte booted four field goals and Jamel Richardson caught a pair of touchdown passes as the Montreal Alouettes halted a two-game losing skid with a 36-26 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night.
The win takes Montreal to 3-3, while Winnipeg fell to 1-5.
Whyte made field goals from 17, 32, 19 and 27 yards and added three punt singles. Richardson hauled in TD passes of 11 and 59 yards from Anthony Calvillo and Victor Anderson ran in a late two-yard TD.
Winnipeg’s points came off an 11-yard TD catch by receiver Cory Watson, a one-yard plunge by quarterback Alex Brink and a 13-yard reception by Clarence Denmark.
Brink was good on two-point converts for his and Denmark’s TDs, completing passes to Chris Matthews and Cory Watson, respectively. Both TDs were late in the fourth quarter.
Justin Palardy connected on his lone field-goal attempt from 33 yards.
