0 commentsFirst string pivot, Dave Dickenson started the game for the visiting Lions. Dickenson has sat out of the previous two games with an injured ankle. He was put out of this game late in the first half with a reaggrivation of the injury. On the shortened night, Dickenson went 10 of 15 for 159 yards and 1 touchdown.
The Lions number two pivot, Buck Pierce, took over for Dickenson and played a great game. Slot back Geroy Simon caught passes from both pivots, adding to an impressive night of football.
Als pivot, Anthony Calvillo, continued to struggle through the midseason, leading the offense to only one major. The aforementioned restless crowd gave the Als few cheers, but one of the biggest was when Calvillo was lifted from the game late in the fourth quarter and replaced with Nealon Greene.
Over the past four games, the Montreal offense have only scored four touchdowns. In the last three games, the Als have been outscored 120 - 42.
