Durant and Alouettes spoil Trestman return

Darian Durant threw touchdown passes to Ernest Jackson and George Johnson as the Montreal Alouettes downed the visiting Toronto Argonauts 21-9 Friday to snap their two-game losing skid. The win propelled the Alouettes (3-4) into first place in the East Division as the Argonauts (3-5) fell to second. Former coach Marc Trestman’s return to Montreal was spoiled as Toronto’s losing streak reached three games. Durant went 18-for-27 passing for 237 yards and two touchdowns. With starting QB Ricky Ray injured, Jeff Matthews threw for just 67 yards in the first half. Cody Fajardo, who replaced him at halftime, went 10-for-16 and 75 yards.
