Lions 36, Alouettes 14: Quarterback Travis Lulay threw one touchdown pass and ran for another, defensive tackle Jermaine Reid had two sacks and Dante Marsh and Adam Bighill had big interception returns as host BC shut down Montreal to stay perfect at home.

Lulay found Shawn Gore for a touchdown as part of an 18-for-22, 198-yard first-half performance for the Lions (7-4), who improved to 6-0 at BC Place. Marsh’s 39-yard interception return set up Lulay’s touchdown run and Bighill returned an interception 44 yards to set up a 1-yard TD by running back Andrew Harris, who finished with 68 rushing yards.

Quarterback Tanner Marsh was replaced by Josh Neiswander after Marsh was 9-for-17 for 76 yards in two-and-a-half quarters for the Alouettes (4-7), who have lost two straight. Neiswander, who finished 14-of-23 for 153 yards, found slotback S.J. Green and wide receiver Brandon London for touchdowns but also threw two interceptions.
