MONTREAL — The Ottawa REDBLACKS found a way to end a disappointing season on a high note.
The team snapped a six-game losing skid by storming back late to claim a 19-18 victory over the playoff-bound Montreal Alouettes in their regular season finale, and multiple players stepped up to give the team hope heading into the off-season.

After trailing 3-0 in the first frame, the Als scored 18 unanswered points leading 18-3 at halftime.
