The Saskatchewan Roughriders have claimed their fifth Grey Cup championship, defeating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg on Sunday night. This victory marks the Roughriders' first Grey Cup title since 2013. The 112th Grey Cup began with a turnover on the first play, as Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander threw an interception to Marcus Sayles. Sayles returned the interception 23 yards, setting the stage for Saskatchewan's first offensive series. Although Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris nearly threw another interception, the Alouettes' Kabion Ento dropped the pass. The Roughriders managed to score a single point on a 69-yard punt by Jesse Mirco, leading 1-0. Montreal responded with a deep 37-yard pass from Alexander to Tyson Philpot, moving into scoring position. Former Roughrider Shea Patterson then scored on a one-yard run, giving the Alouettes a 7-1 lead. The Roughriders quickly answered back, with Harris connecting with Dohnte Meyers for a 29-yard gain and Samuel Emilus for 24 yards, bringing them to the Alouettes' 12-yard line. After a successful challenge for pass interference, Saskatchewan was awarded the ball on the one-yard line, where Tommy Stevens scored to put the Roughriders ahead 8-7. Saskatchewan's defense forced a two-and-out, allowing the Roughriders to extend their lead. Running back A.J. Ouellette contributed with a 12-yard run and a 32-yard reception. Stevens converted a third-and-one, and Ouellette scored again from five yards out, making it 15-7 with 2:38 left in the first half. As the first half concluded, Alexander's hail mary attempt was intercepted by Rolan Milligan, preserving Saskatchewan's lead. The second half began with Roughriders returner Mario Alford bringing the kickoff back 38 yards. Harris then connected with Tommy Nield for a 34-yard gain, setting up another touchdown by Stevens, who tied a Roughriders Grey Cup record with his second touchdown of the game, increasing the lead to 22-7. Later in the third quarter, Alexander was intercepted by Tevaughn Campbell, leading to a field goal by Brett Lauther from 48 yards, extending the Roughriders' lead to 25-7. Montreal responded with a touchdown from Stevie Scott III, narrowing the score to 25-14. The Alouettes continued to push, driving to Saskatchewan's nine-yard line before kicking a 23-yard field goal, making it 25-17. The Roughriders' offense struggled to respond, and Lauther missed a 39-yard field goal attempt. Montreal's final drive saw Alexander connect with Tyler Snead for a 51-yard gain, but a fumble by Patterson halted their momentum. Sayles recovered the loose ball in the end zone, giving Saskatchewan possession with 2:58 left in the game. Despite a late push from Montreal, including a final attempt to score from midfield, Alexander's last pass fell incomplete, securing the Roughriders' victory. The Roughriders' championship history now includes titles from 1966, 1989, 2007, 2013, and 2025. This win adds to the franchise's storied legacy in Canadian football, showcasing their resilience and skill on the field.
