They said it...

"Our defense played a very high level of football. Guys were physical, we ripped the ball away, we scored points and made quarterback sacks. Our players practiced and played hard. I'm proud of them." - Jason Maas, Head Coach

"I am just thankful (to be able to reach 100 sacks). I've been through a lot of adversity in my career. I remembered I was cut from a team when I had six career sacks, I was cut in BC when I had 92 sacks. You always have to believe in yourself in life." -Shawn Lemon, defensive line

"I'm proud of our team. We've done everything we had to do to win. Over the last few weeks, we've been playing some really good football. Although the weather was bad, we had several practices in the rain and we were prepared to win this game." - Cody Fajardo, Quarterback

The next Alouettes game is on Saturday, October 14 against the Edmonton Elks at Commonwealth Stadium at 4:00 p.m. ET.
