The Argonauts needed a win in Montreal to take first place and the season series. Allen, a clutch player, took control of the game by orchestrating drive after drive which, on almost every occasion resulted in a touchdown or a field goal.

Comments and Game Notes:
Collier tends to get his quarterback sacks in streaks. In Week 3 he had five sacks (tied a CFL record) and this week he had three.
