Spieker, Fajardo lead Alouettes to 21-17 comeback over Elks
MONTREAL — Wide receiver Cole Spieker and quarterback Cody Fajardo led a second-half comeback as the league-leading Montreal Alouettes defeated the Edmonton Elks 21-17 in a thrilling victory on Sunday night.
Fajardo threw for 336 yards on 22-for-34 completions to go with two touchdown passes and one interception in his return from missing four games with a hamstring injury.
Spieker caught two TDs and totalled 107 receiving yards on five receptions, all in the second half, as Montreal (10-1) won its fifth straight before an announced crowd of 19,048 at Molson Stadium.
All-star receiver Austin Mack made three receptions for 32 yards in his 2024 debut after rejoining the Alouettes this week following a stint with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
