Montreal slotback Nik Lewis easily got the 21 yards he needed to pass Alouettes legend Ben Cahoon (13,301) for sixth place in all-time receiving yards.
The Alouettes led 16-9 at the intermission despite Darian Durant throwing interceptions to Ciante Evans and Tommie Cambell and taking 12 mostly undisciplined penalties.
