Montreal, QC - Anthony Calvillo threw for 308 yards and a pair of touchdowns and moved into second place on the all-time completions list, as Montreal defeated Calgary, 30-18.
Calvillo, who connected on 24-of-29 passes, moved past Danny McManus in the CFL history books, and now has 3,658 career completions. Ben Cahoon finished with 140 yards and caught both of Calvillo's TD passes for the Alouettes (4-3), who have won four of their last five. Cahoon made some history of his own, moving into third in all-time receiving yards (9,788) and second in receptions (720).

Montreal went in front with 2:49 left in the half on a 17-yard TD toss from Calvillo to Cahoon, then went up 22-8 with 55 ticks left on the clock on an eight-yard run by Payton.
The Alouettes added a single early in the third, but Calgary countered with 10 straight points to slice the lead to 23-18. Sandro DeAngelis started the comeback with a 13-yard field goal with 3:42 left in the third before Burris scored from a yard out with 9:44 remaining in the fourth.
Montreal, though, put the game away with 1:40 on the clock courtesy of Calvillo's second TD pass of the night -- a 20-yarder to Cahoon.
