MONTREAL -- Sean Whyte delivered the one 40th birthday present Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo wanted above all. Whyte kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired and Montreal extended its winning streak to three with a 31-29 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday. Montreal scored 13 points in the fourth quarter, including a three-yard touchdown run by Brandon Whitaker and a 17-yard field goal by Whyte which put the Alouettes up 28-26 at 12:09. Hamiltons Luca Congi kicked his fifth field goal of the game with 1:22 remaining, a 47-yarder to put the Tiger-Cats up 29-28. Whytes third field goal came at the end of an eight-play, 45-yard drive that began with a 12-yard run by Calvillo. "Everything happens so quickly out there," Whyte said. "One minute youre on the sideline, the next youre out there kicking the ball. You dont really have time to get nervous. Everybody did their job tonight. A.C. did an awesome job of leading the gang down the field to get us in easy field goal range." The Molson Stadium crowd of 22,140 was in a festive mood with many wearing party hats handed out by the Alouettes to celebrate Calvillos birthday. Calvillo brought his party to life with a milestone touchdown pass to S.J. Green, hitting the Alouettes receiver in the end zone for a 10-yard strike 9:53 into the second quarter. "I didnt notice the party hats. I didnt notice anything, to be honest with you," Calvillo said. "I was really trying to concentrate on the game and thats the tough thing. I just hope my birthday never lands on a game day again." Calvillos 436th career touchdown pass moved him past Warren Moon into second place all-time in pro football history. Moon threw 435 touchdown passes, including 144 with Edmonton from 1978-83. Brett Favre threw 508 touchdown passes, all in the NFL. "Congratulations to him," said Tiger-Cats quarterback Henry Burris. "Hes worked hard and his guys made plays for him tonight. They did a great job of protecting him and giving him time. Hes doing a great job of leading that team and thats the reason why theyre in first place." Chris Williams tied a CFL record with his fifth kick return touchdown of the season for Hamilton in the second quarter. Williams returned Whytes punt 70 yards for his fifth kick return touchdown of the season, tying Henry "Gizmo" Williams CFL single-season record set in 1991. It was Chris Williams fourth punt-return touchdown of the season. He also returned a missed field goal for a touchdown. Gizmo Williams still holds the record for most punt-return touchdowns in a season with five. "Ive heard some very good stories about that man," Chris Williams said. "This leagues been around for a long time. Any time you can tie a record, its an honour. Im thankful but I definitely would have liked to get a win." Former Alouette Avon Cobournes 15-yard touchdown reception from Burris gave Hamilton a 26-18 lead 2:57 into the fourth. Whitakers three-yard run at 7:14 helped bring Montreal within 26-25. Whyte hit his second of three field goals with 2:20 left, a 17-yard kick as the Alouettes settled for a 28-26 lead after Calvillo was sacked by Greg Peach for a seven-yard loss with Montreal on the three-yard line. Adrian McPherson scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak to give Montreal its first lead, 18-16, 10:53 into the third quarter. Green nearly had a second touchdown reception but he was downed inches short of the goal-line just before McPhersons quarterback sneak. "We came together as a team and put it together in all three phases, offensively, defensively and special teams, and we finished, which is all you can ask for out of your team," Green said. The Alouettes lost wide receiver Brandon London to a left knee sprain earlier in the drive that led to McPhersons touchdown. London twisted his leg when he was tackled and got his left foot trapped under Tiger-Cats linebacker Rey Williams. Montreal coach Marc Trestman expects him to be sidelined for two to four weeks. "Well know a lot more after we see the doctors (Friday) and see how he feels in the morning," Trestman said. Alouettes free safety Kyries Hebert laid out Hamiltons Onrea Jones with one of the most devastating blocks of the season. Montreals Jerald Brown intercepted Burris in the third quarter and Jones was in pursuit when Hebert caught him with his head down, sending the Tiger-Cats slotback flying backwards. "It was a hellacious hit and I wouldnt have got up," Alouettes defensive end John Bowman said.

As a tennis crowd so used to disappointments finally saw reason to believe, the classic shouts of "Come on Andy" that have rung out at Wimbledon hundreds of times over the last seven years started coming with the added encouragement: "You can do it.The Edmonton Eskimos scored the last 15 points to defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night, keeping pace in the competitive West Division and, perhaps more importantly, taking control of the crossover spot with just four games left on the schedule. The Eskimos, last in the West, sit two games behind the Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders at 6-8, but are currently a playoff team by virtue of the crossover – Edmonton is one game up on those same Tiger-Cats, who sit third in the East at 5-9. Should Edmonton hold on and play their first playoff game somewhere east of Saskatchewan, it would be the first time the crossover was utilized since 2009, when the BC Lions travelled east to Hamilton. The year before Edmonton took advantage of the crossover, opening their post-season in Winnipeg. Every CFL fan knows the crossover, while not exactly common, is far from a rare occurrence. Its a rule implemented with the goal of getting the best six teams into the post-season, but even still, that doesnt always work out. Edmonton, should they not be able to catch the rest of the West, needs one more win than the Ticats – or whichever team ends up third in the East – to reach the playoffs. Its not a tiebreaker situation. Even had they won the season series against Hamilton, it wouldnt be enough to clinch the third spot allotted to the East. They have to win it outright. The obvious solution, and the one most contemplated among followers of the league, is to switch to one, eight-team division (a misnomer, I know).dddddddddddd. The one division idea isnt a new one, but heading into the regular seasons final stretch, in a year like this, it deserves to be re-examined. Without an East-West split, the playoff race would be clean and simple: the top six teams advance to the playoffs; the top two receive byes. If that were the case this year, the race for the final playoff spot between the Eskimos and Ticats, who split their season series, could be more interesting, and would be more honest. Of course, a switch to a one-division system could threaten the strength of some long-standing rivalries. With a level schedule, hated "division" rivals wouldnt face off as often. That isnt to say the schedule-makers would shuffle the always anticipated Labour Day Classic games, or eliminate the Banjo Bowl, but a more even schedule would impede territorial rivalries from cultivating hard feelings over the course of an extended season series. Nearly every professional sports league opts for divisions, but because of its small size, the CFL has the opportunity to at least consider a different option. The traditional East-West Division format with the crossover possibility; or an arguably simpler and fairer division-less arrangement. The Rouge asks: Should the CFL switch to a one-division format? As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
