Fajardo throws first touchdown of CFL season to Philpot for Alouettes

In a thrilling start to the CFL season, Montreal Alouettes quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. connected with wide receiver Dante Absher for a 40-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter of their game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. This marked the first touchdown of the season for the Alouettes and set the tone for what would be an exciting game.

However, it was not until the second quarter that the Alouettes would score their second touchdown of the game. Quarterback Matt Shiltz, who had taken over for Adams after he suffered a shoulder injury, found running back William Stanback for a 15-yard touchdown pass. This gave the Alouettes a comfortable lead going into halftime.

But it was in the third quarter that the highlight of the game occurred. With Adams back in the game, he threw a perfect pass to receiver Jake Wieneke for a 50-yard touchdown, extending the Alouettes’ lead even further. This was Adams’ first touchdown pass of the season and showcased his ability to make big plays downfield.

The Alouettes’ offense continued to impress in the fourth quarter, with backup quarterback Antonio Pipkin throwing a touchdown pass to receiver Eugene Lewis. This sealed the victory for the Alouettes, as they went on to win the game 35-10.

Overall, it was a strong performance by the Alouettes’ offense, with multiple quarterbacks stepping up and making big plays. The connection between Adams and his receivers, particularly Wieneke and Absher, was on full display as they combined for three touchdowns in the game.

With this win, the Alouettes have set the tone for what promises to be an exciting CFL season. Fans can look forward to more thrilling plays and exciting moments from this talented Montreal team.
