Alouettes 30, Tiger-Cats 28: Antonio Pipkin ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw for another as visiting Montreal ended its season by defeating playoff-bound Hamilton.

Pipkin, one of three quarterbacks to play in the game for the Alouettes (5-13), completed 8-of-15 passes for 217 yards and Johnny Manziel was 4-of-5 for 59 while also throwing for a score. Eugene Lewis caught both touchdown passes -- his only receptions -- for a total of 105 yards and William Stanback recorded 134 from scrimmage (103 receiving) for Montreal, which won four of its last nine contests.

Dane Evans was 22-of-37 for 315 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions in his first career start in place of the injured Jeremiah Masoli (sore knee) for the Tiger-Cats (8-10). John White rushed for 88 yards while Mike Jones (five catches, 114 yards) and Bralon Addison (seven, 103) each caught a TD pass for Hamilton, which hosts BC in the East Division semifinal Nov. 11.

Manziel connected with Lewis for a 30-yard touchdown to open the scoring and Pipkin sneaked into the end zone from 1 yard out early in the second quarter to give the Alouettes a 14-3 lead. Evans hit Addison with a 20-yard scoring strike to trim Hamilton's deficit to four points, but Lewis outbattled a defender to grab Pipkin's long pass and turned it into a 75-yard TD as Montreal took a 20-11 lead into intermission.

Sean Thomas-Erlington scored on a 2-yard run to close the gap to two points, but an interception set up a 43-yard field goal by Boris Bede and Pipkin scored on another 1-yard sneak five plays after a turnover by the Tiger-Cats as the Alouettes carried a 30-18 lead into the final quarter. Evans connected with Jones for a 26-yard score early in the fourth and Lirim Hajrullahu's 20-yard field goal with 2:18 remaining pulled Hamilton within two, but the Tiger-Cats kicker missed a 49-yard attempt in the final seconds to end it.
