8:35 - Turnover at the endzone

The ensuing drive sees the Als push to within three yards of the Riders’ endzone.

In an attempt to sneak it into the endzone for the second time of the night, Shae Patterson fumbles and the ball is recovered by Marcus Sayles.

The Riders fail to capitalize on their ensuing possession but keep their eight point lead.

8:28 – Lauther misses field goal

Attempting to increase the Riders’ lead back to double-digits, Brett Lauther’s 39-yard field goal attempt missed right.

The Montreal Alouettes have life after a Jose Maltos Diaz field goal.

The points capped off a Roughrider penalty aided 10-play, 57-yard drive.

Montreal now trails 25-17.

Should the Alouettes complete the comeback behind as much as 18 points in the third quarter, it would be the second-largest deficit overcame in a Grey Cup game. The Edmonton Elks hold the largest comeback at 20 points in 1981.

8:05 – Alouettes look to mount comeback

Looking to stay within striking distance, the Montreal Alouettes are trying to claw back into the game.

After a Brett Lauther field goal for the Riders, Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander would lead a 8-play, 70-yard touchdown drive to score Montreal’s first points since the first quarter.

Inside the redzone, a Saskatchewan penalty would give Montreal life before Stevie Scott III’s 11-yard touchdown run.

Jose Maltos Diaz’s extra-point attempt was converted.

Five plays later, kicker Brett Lauther would send it through the uprights from 48 yards to add three.

Saskatchewan’s lead swelled to 25-7 with the kick.

7:40 – Super Mario gives Riders short field to start second half

The Saskatchewan Roughriders wasted no time scoring to begin the second half.

Getting the ball to start the third quarter, Riders’ star return man Mario Alford returned the kickoff 38 yards and across midfield.

Saskatchewan would need just four plays to go 48 yards and score their third touchdown of the game.

A Trevor Harris 34-yard pass to Tommy Nield got the Riders to the one-yard line.

Short yardage QB Tommy Stevens would come in to finish the job again, punching it into the endzone for his second touchdown of the game.

The score ties the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ franchise record for TDs in a Grey Cup game (2).

In 2013, Kory Sheets had two rushing TDs, while Geroy Simon had two receiving touchdowns.

Saskatchewan leads 22-7 with 12 minutes remaining in the third quarter.

6:45 – Ouellette rumbles down the field as Riders extend lead

Saskatchewan running back A.J. Ouellete lead the offense down the field and into the endzone to extend their lead to eight.

Ouellete was given the ball four times on the drive, highlighted by a 12-yard rush and a 32-yard catch and run to get the Riders deep into Montreal territory.

The 11-play, 92-yard touchdown drive finished off by the running back driving it four yards into the endzone.

Brett Lauther’s extra-point attempt was good, Saskatchewan leads 15-7 with 2:38 remaining in the first half.

6:30 – Mace’s challenge leads to Saskatchewan touchdown

As the Riders looked to respond to Montreal’s touchdown, quarterback Trevor Harris led a drive down the field.

With two big plays, a 29-yard pass to Meyers, got the Riders into enemy territory. Two plays later, Sam Emilus would catch a cross route and run for a gain of 24 yards to get Saskatchewan closer.

Down to the goal line, Montreal believed they had stopped Saskatchewan and turned the ball over on downs.

However, Riders’ coach Corey Mace challenged for pass interference on the play. It was reviewed and the call was overturned to call the penalty.

On the very next play, Saskatchewan short yardage QB Tommy Stevens would punch it across the line – capping off an eight-play, 73-yard drive to give the Riders a 8-7 lead.

6:16 – Als find the endzone to take the lead

Following a Saskatchewan two-and-out, Montreal got good field position with four and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter starting on the Riders’ side of half.

The ensuing six-play, 54-yard drive would finish in the endzone as the Als would get the first major of the game. Capped off by short yardage quarterback Shae Patterson – who is a former Roughrider - sneaking his way across the goal line.

The drive was highlighted by a 37-yard pass by Davis Alexander to Tyson Philpot.

Following the extra-point conversion, the Alouettes lead 7-1 with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter.

6:00 – Riders strike first with rouge

After a Marcus Sayles interception got Saskatchewan the ball, the Riders were unable to march down the field for a major.

Montreal comes into the game after defeating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Eastern Division Final. The Als finished with the second-best regular season record in the East, recording 10 wins and eight loses.

The Riders, on the other hand, were the CFL’s top team all season long, finishing with a league-best 12-6 record and hosted last week’s West Division Final, beating the B.C. Lions to reach the championship.

This is just the third time in history the two franchises have been matched up in the Grey Cup.
