Davis Alexander: "We're ready to put on a show" in the 113th Grey Cup

CALGARY -- Davis Alexander got a taste of what it's like to start in a Grey Cup in 2025, and that experience has the Montreal Alouettes quarterback feeling even better heading into his second chance at winning a championship as a starter in the 113th Grey Cup on Sunday.

"Yeah," Alexander said when asked during Media Day on Thursday if he and the Als feel more confident this time around.

"I think we're all riding together. This is all we can ask for, this opportunity to be back in the (Grey) Cup. It doesn't happen often. We've been fortunate and we've earned it for sure."

"We're here and we're ready to put on a show," Alexander added.

He did just that in 2026, throwing for 5,257 yards, 35 touchdowns and just four interceptions en route to winning the George Reed Most Outstanding Player Award.

That regular season success carried over into the Eastern Final presented by Wegovy®, as Alexander completed 23 of 35 passes for two touchdowns without throwing an interception in Montreal's 33-23 win over Winnipeg.

Alexander and the Alouettes offence have been almost impossible to stop all season long, but they'll face perhaps their toughest test yet in the second-ranked Elks pass defence, which also led the CFL in interceptions (27).

The 113th Grey Cup shapes up as a battle of strength against strength between Edmonton and Montreal on Sunday night at McMahon Stadium in Calgary.

Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. ABT and can be watched on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, CTV, Crave, RDS, DAZN and CFL+.
