MONTREAL -- The losing skid is over and the Montreal Alouettes have their
defence to thank.
Andrew Hawkins Browns Jersey . Led by CFL
tackles leader Chip Cox, the Alouettes held the slumping Saskatchewan
Roughriders to 15 yards on the ground, picked off three Darian Durant passes,
sacked him four times and stuffed a third-and-one attempt on the goal line in
their 17-12 victory on Sunday. "We win and lose as a team," said Cox, who picked
off Durant in the end zone to stop Saskatchewans final drive and secure the win.
"The team needed that from us today and thats what we did. "The teams been
needing that from us for the last few weeks and we havent been able to pull it
through for them. Today, we did and we got the W." Duron Carter scored the only
touchdown for Montreal (5-8), which ended a three game losing run. The slotback
was named the star of the game as he caught six passes for 152 yards, including
a 45-yard effort to set up one of three Sean Whyte field goals. Weston Dressler
had the lone TD for the Roughriders (8-5), who lost a fourth game in a row. The
highlight for the visitors came about 10 minutes into the opening quarter, when
slotback Geroy Simon made history by hauling in his 1,018th career reception,
breaking the record of former Alouette Ben Cahoon. He ended the game with 1,020.
A message of congratulations from Cahoon was shown on the scoreboard, but the
Riders will wait until they are at home Oct. 12 against Edmonton to celebrate
his feat. Simon was in no mood for that after the game. "Were just not executing
now," the 15-year veteran said. "The defence is holding up their part of the
bargain by holding them to minimal points, but I can only speak for the offence.
"Were just not making plays we need to make. The leaders have to lead. We just
have to figure it out. We have to take a long look in the mirror and ask if were
doing everything we need to win." Despite near-perfect sunny weather and the
largest crowd of the year at Percival Molson Stadium of 24,105, neither team
used the conditions to move the ball consistently. Durant completed 24 of 46
passes for 339 yards, but he missed open receivers repeatedly and threw the
three picks. Chris Garrett, filling in for injured running back Kory Sheets,
gained nine yards on five carries. The Riders have not won in three games since
Sheets sprained his right knee against Toronto. Alouettes quarterback Josh
Neiswander was good on 21 of 36 passes for 264 yards. He was not intercepted and
was never sacked. Montreals woes came from dropped passes and some bumbling
moments on special teams. But the defence erased any errors. After Whyte tied
the game at 1-1 late in the first quarter, Durant hit Chris Getzlaf with a
70-yard pass that gave the Roughriders first down inside the five. The Alouettes
defence stopped all three attempts and took over the ball at the one. Montreal
conceded a safety, and Saskatchewan threatened again when it got the ball back,
only to see Geoff Tisdale pick off a pass in the end zone. Another Roughriders
drive at the end of the third quarter was stopped by a leaping, one-handed
interception by Jerald Brown. Troy Smith, now the backup with both Anthony
Calvillo and Tanner Marsh injured, got in for two plays in the third and nearly
produced a score, but Jerome Messam was stripped of the ball near the goal by
Terrell Maze after a long run off a screen pass. The win took some pressure off
the Alouettes, who went into the weekend in danger of being caught by the
Eskimos for a crossover playoff position, with a showdown coming on Saturday in
Edmonton. The Eskimos loss to the Argonauts on Saturday, coupled with the
Alouettes win gives Montreal a four-point cushion, each with five games left to
play. "The pressures still on us," said Cox. "We need to win more games. "Were
not in the playoffs, so we cant just go home and relax. We have to play even
better next week (Saturday in Edmonton) to get another W." The Alouettes led 4-3
at the intermission, but Ricky Schmitt tied the game with one of his three punt
singles on the opening drive of the second half. Neiswander hit Carter with a
short pass and saw the slotback zig-zag his way for a 45-yard touchdown at 13:12
of the third quarter. Durant struck back to open the fourth, as he hit Taj
Smith, Simon, and Dressler with passes before finding Dressler uncovered at the
Montreal goal-line to tie the game at 3:05. Montreal went ahead on Whytes
40-yard boot at 6:18. After another Rider single, Whyte hit from 19 yards with
1:32 left to play.
Bernie Kosar Browns Jersey .C. -- Calgarys
Kevin Koe did it the hard way again.
Gary Barnidge Browns Jersey . This should be
celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money
given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those
teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can
play for a different team in the middle of their season.

. LUCIE, Fla. MANCHESTER, England -- Arsenal felt the full force of Manchester
Citys rampant attack to slump to a wild 6-3 loss in the English Premier League
on Saturday, cutting its lead over Chelsea to two points and throwing the title
race wide open. Chelsea pounced on Arsenals implosion at Etihad Stadium by
edging past Crystal Palace 2-1 at home, with Ramires scoring the winner to lift
Jose Mourinhos team provisionally into second place. But approaching the halfway
stage of the campaign, City is likely to be most peoples favourite for the title
after following up big home wins over Manchester United and Tottenham already
this season with another masterful attacking display against Arsenal. What had
been the tightest defence in the league was ripped apart, with Citys eighth
straight home win sealed by goals from Fernandinho (two), Sergio Aguero, Alvaro
Negredo, David Silva and Yaya Toure. City enhanced its tag as the leagues
entertainers -- it has 35 goals in eight home matches, including six past Spurs
and four past United -- and is a point adrift of Chelsea in third. "It was a
very complete game in attacking," City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. "It is
not easy to score six goals against Arsenal, the best defence in the Premier
League." Everton brushed past Fulham 4-1 with three late goals to jump to
fourth, while Newcastle drew 1-1 with Southampton in a match that saw the
referee receive a bloody nose after accidentally colliding with a player, and
ended in a scuffle between the two benches. West Bromwich Albion fired head
coach Steve Clarke hours after a 1-0 loss at Cardiff, the visitors fourth
reverse in a row, and there were 0-0 draws for West Ham-Sunderland and
Hull-Stoke. Arguably the standout match this season lived up to its billing,
with weary Arsenal run ragged by City less than three days after the Gunners
grueling defeat in the Champions League at Napoli. Arsenals title credentials
were always going to be tested in this crucial three-game period, starting with
last weekends 1-1 draw at Everton and ending with a home match at Chelsea on
Dec. 23, and cracks have been ffound.
KWaun Williams Browns Jersey. "We made too
many mistakes," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "Our strength until now was
our defensive discipline but that went as the game went on." The prolific strike
pairing of Aguero and Negredo put City 2-1 up by halftime, with Theo Walcotts
goal having made it 1-1. Fernandinho scored in the 50th, moments after Aguero
went off with a calf injury only for Walcott to score again, but Arsenals
creaking defence was breached in the final 24 minutes by Silva, Fernandinho and
Toures penalty. Per Mertesacker netted Arsenals other goal in injury time.
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere could face disciplinary action after being
pictured raising his middle finger toward Citys fans during the second half.
With Liverpool not playing until Sunday, Chelsea is Arsenals closest challenger
after an unconvincing win over Palace at Stamford Bridge. Fernando Torres scored
in the 16th minute for the Blues before Joel Ward set up Marouane Chamakh to
equalize for the visitors in the 29th. Six minutes later, Ramires grabbed the
winner with a right-footed shot from outside the area to the top left corner.
Everton maintained its challenge for a top-four finish by scoring three goals in
the final 17 minutes to see off Fulham. Leon Osmans 18th-minute goal in his
300th league game put Everton ahead but Dimitar Berbatov equalized from the
penalty spot in the 67th. Seamus Coleman regained the home sides lead before
Gareth Barry and Kevin Mirallas completed the victory. The Newcastle-Southampton
game ended with ugly scenes on the sidelines as coaches on both benches clashed
in reaction to a foul on the pitch. The goalkeeping coach from each team was
sent off. Earlier, referee Mike Jones required treatment for a bloody nose after
being floored by the flailing arm of Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko. Peter
Whittingham scored the second-half winner for Cardiff against West Brom, which
proved to be the end for coach Clarke after 18 months in charge at The
Hawthorns. On Sunday, its: Aston Villa vs. Man United, Norwich vs. Swansea and
Tottenham vs. Liverpool.
