The Montreal Alouettes remained undefeated in the 2024 Canadian Football League regular season after a 30-20 win over the Toronto Argonauts at Bank of Montreal Field in Toronto, Ontario on Friday. A major reason for the Alouettes success was the continued offensive prowess of wide receiver Tyson Philpot of Delta, British Columbia.
Philpot had a 38-yard touchdown catch from Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo with five minutes and 37 seconds left in the first quarter. At the time, the Alouettes went up 6-3. It would be a lead the Alouettes would not relinquish.
So far in 2024, Philpot has been outstanding and very consistent. He is averaging a touchdown per game, as he has four touchdown receptions in four contests to date. Philpot’s four touchdowns leads the Canadian Football League. Philpot also has 28 catches for 430 receiving yards.
Philpot is also second in the CFL in receiving yards. His 430 is only behind Alexander Hollins of the British Columbia Lions, who has 457 receiving yards.
The Alouettes are one of two teams undefeated in the CFL this season. The other are the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who lead the Western Division at three wins and zero losses. The Roughriders got a bye in week four. Montreal next hosts the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday.
