(AP) -- Damon Duval kicked a 33-yard field goal
with no time left - after getting a second chance because of a
Saskatchewan penalty - in the Grey Cup to give the Montreal
Alouettes a 28-27 victory over the Roughriders .
Duval missed moments earlier from 43 yards, but the Roughriders
were penalized for having 13 men on the field.
Montreal overcame a late 16-point deficit.
Avon Cobourne, selected the game MVP, scored on a 3-yard run
with 7:05 left, and Anthony Calvillo completed a 2-point conversion
pass to Kerry Carter to make it 27-19. Calvillo then threw an
11-yard scoring pass to Ben Cahoon. The 2-point try failed, but the
Alouettes got the ball back and Calvillo set up the winning field
goal.
The victory ended a run of Grey Cup woes for the Alouettes and
Calvillo, who won only their second title in seven championship
game appearances since 2000. They also ended a four-game losing
streak in the Grey Cup with their sixth overall title.
