Summary:

After winning last year’s Grey Cup, Ottawa (0-3-1) still remains winless heading into week five.  Ottawa suffered a 23-21 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos despite outscoring them in each of the final two quarters.  Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris threw for 284 yards and a touchdown in defeat.   Montreal (2-2-0) looked impressive in their 30-23 victory over Calgary.  Alouettes running back Tyrell Sutton had a big game with 85 yards rushing and a touchdown.  This game could have been a complete blowout if not for two key interceptions thrown by Darian Durant.  Montreal leads the league in fewest points allowed (21.3 PPG) but they have struggled to score (20.5 PPG).  Ottawa finally played better defensively last week and that’s been their ailment since they don’t struggle to score (29.0 PPG).  I think Ottawa finally gets their first win at home on Wednesday.
