SASKATCHEWAN 36
TORONTO 10
TORONTO - Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler scored third-quarter touchdowns to power the Saskatchewan Roughriders to a decisive 36-10 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Monday.
Sheets's season-high 48-yard TD run at 9: 29 put Saskatchewan ahead 29-10 and brought "Let's Go Riders," chants from the Saskatchewan faithful within the Rogers Centre gathering of 25,176.
Sheets also surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing plateau on the play.
Darian Durant cemented the win at 11: 25 with a 78-yard TD strike to Dressler, the Rider slot-back's league-leading 10th touchdown catch this season.
After Dressler scored, the Saskatchewan fans erupted out into a "Let's Go Riders," chant again with their club comfortably ahead 36-10.
Saskatchewan (8-6) earned its fifth win in six games to move into a second-place tie with Calgary in the West Division.
Durant finished 21-of-29 passing for 276 yards and a TD to improve to 6-2 versus Toronto and 3-1 at Rogers Centre.
Saskatchewan faces the fourth-place Edmonton Eskimos (6-8) on Saturday in an important West Division showdown.
Toronto's offence was unable to muster any sort of consistency, forcing the defence to spend too much time on the field. It marked the third time this year the Argos have scored 10 or less points in a game.
Despite that, Toronto remains in contention for top spot in the East Division.
WINNIPEG 27
MONTREAL 22
? MONTREAL - Joey Elliott threw touchdown passes to Terrence Edwards, Chris Matthews and Rory Kohlert as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers downed the Montreal Alouettes 27-22 Monday for their first road win of the CFL season.
Winnipeg (4-10), which has won twice in its last three games, saw Elliott amass more than 330 passing yards in relief of injured starter Buck Pierce. Justin Palardy added a pair of field goals.
Brandon London and backup QB Adrian McPherson scored TDs and Sean Whyte had three field goals for Montreal (8-6), which fumbled the ball five times while dropping a second game in a row. It was the Bombers' first win in three meetings with Montreal this season and their first away victory in seven tries.
