Calvillo's milestone night helps Montreal stay undefeated

Jul 24, 2009 - 6:03 AM Anthony Calvillo moved alone into second place on the CFL's all-time list for touchdown passes as the Montreal Alouettes remained the league's only unbeaten team with a 21-8 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday night.

Calvillo passed Ron Lancaster with his 334th career touchdown pass, a 48-yarder to Jamel Richardson with 11:03 left in the first half that got Montreal on the board. The Alouettes (4-0) erased an early 6-0 deficit by scoring 18 points in the second quarter.

Calvillo, who completed 30 of 39 passes for 404 yards, also threw an 18-yard TD to Brian Bratton before Damon Duval added a single and a field goal to give the Alouettes an 18-6 halftime lead.

Calvillo now trails only Damon Allen, who had 394 touchdown passes in 23 seasons.

Nick Setta staked the Tiger-Cats (2-2) to an early lead with a 41-yard field goal in the first quarter before adding a 15-yarder early in the second.

Hamilton has lost 10 straight at Montreal dating to 2002.

Kevin Glenn relieved an ineffective Quinton Porter for the Tiger-Cats and went 12 of 19 for 198 yards. Porter completed 12 of 21 passes for 155 yards and was intercepted once.

Richardson had a team-high 91 receiving yards and five different players had at least three receptions for Montreal, which has averaged 38.5 points in its four victories.
