The Alouettes pivot is second among active starting quarterbacks with a 71. 3 completion percentage, and has proven to be one of the most effective quarterbacks at taking care of the football. Harris’ 11 interceptions are the second fewest among starters, trailing only Calgary’s Jake Maier. Harris has at least one touchdown pass over his last seven consecutive games, and has thrown 118 passing attempts without and interception.
The Als have scored the most points of any East Division team and currently rank fourth league-wide averaging 22. 4 points per game. With key defensive contributors Shane Ray and Wynton McManis sidelined due to injury, Toronto’s Ja’Gared Davis and Shawn Oakman have been relied on to create chaos in the Montreal backfield. The pair of defensive lineman have combined for three sacks over their last two games. The Toronto secondary has been one of the most aggressive in the league this season and lead the league with an eye-catching 26 interceptions in 2022. However, they will be facing one of the league’s most efficient passers in Montreal’s Harris.

Running back William Stanback has been steadily improving since his return from injury. He rushed nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown against the REDBLACKS and will look to exploit an Argos defensive front that allows an average of 100. 6 rushing yards per game.

Collectively, the Als defence has forced 32 turnovers through 19 weeks of play and are facing an Argos team that has turned the ball over 35 times on offence.

After giving up 20 points in the first half of their Week 19 matchup against the Edmonton Elks, the Toronto defence showed their ability to battle through adversity as they held the Elks offence to just one touchdown in the second half. Limiting their opponents’ chances to score points is something the Argos have excelled at this season, especially when called on to defend their own goal line. Of the 39 times they have defended their own end, they have surrendered just 18 touchdowns in the red zone this season.
