The Montreal Alouettes aren’t the only team in the Eastern Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL) with an impeccable record.
On Sunday night, the Toronto Argonauts went 2-0 up by beating the Edmonton Elks 43-31 at Commonwealth Stadium.
The Queen City club is thus on par with the Sparrows, while the two formations have already benefited from a week’s break. So far, the BC Lions (3-0) have dominated the CFL standings.
In today’s game, the “Argos” were powered by running back AJ Ouellette. He had 84 yards and three touchdowns with his feet.
Defensively, Royce Metchie caught an interception for a major in the winning game and Daniel Robertson conceded two fumbles.
So the Elks (0-3) are still looking for a first win in 2023. Former “Als” star wide receiver Eugene Lewis had a fairly quiet game. He caught five throws for 43 yards.
Very bad news from Calgary
In Calgary, the Stampeders (1-2) learned that outstanding receiver Malik Henry was out of regular season.
He announced on his Twitter account that he had torn his Achilles tendon. He was injured in yesterday’s loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The recovery time for this type of injury is four to six months.
The 26-year-old American was named to the West Division All-Star team last year after 62 catches for 1,023 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games.
In three games this year, Henry has 14 balls for 228 yards and one major.
