VANCOUVER \u2013 Tanner Marsh made his limited playing time count Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The backup quarterback\u2019s one-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion pass to Tyrell Sutton in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference as the Montreal Alouettes beat the B.C. Lions 23-13.<\/p>\n

Marsh was used mostly in short-yardage situations against the Lions. It was just his second appearance of the year after suffering a partially-torn patella tendon in training camp. Marsh\u2019s decisive touchdown and Sutton\u2019s two-point convert enabled Montreal to take a 20-13 lead and came after the Lions had held the Als on first-and-goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been out of the game the first six weeks and I\u2019m just so excited to be here and part of the team and help the team however I can,\u201d said Marsh. \u201cSo I wasn\u2019t really nervous (on the touchdown attempt).<\/p>\n

I was just more excited to be out there on the field.”<\/p>\n

The Alouettes (3-5) overcame early and late deficits as they ended a three-game losing streak and posted only their second win in Vancouver since 2000 \u2013 a span of 15 games.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The win) shows the character of the team, and it\u2019s huge,\u201d said Marsh, who completed all three of his passes and ran for 12 yards on seven carries. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to start off a winning streak.<\/p>\n

Nik Lewis also scored a touchdown for Montreal \u2013 his first since joining the Als after 11 seasons with Calgary \u2013 while Boris Bede produced its other points on field goals from 25, 32 and 50 yards.<\/p>\n

Much of the talk before the game was about B.C.\u2019s defence as Alex Hoffman-Ellis made his first CFL start for the Lions in place of injured linebacker Solomon Elimimian, the 2014 most outstanding player and defensive player of the year. The Lions, however, weren\u2019t able to generate enough offence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t move the ball consistently enough,\u201d said B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay, who completed 18 of 29 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Lulay threw an interception at 3:54 of the fourth quarter, snared by Dominique Ellis, that led to Montreal’s winning touchdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just scrambling out of the pocket and I thought I had a chance to complete it,\u201d said Lulay.<\/p>\n

Ryan Phillips, on a 49-yard interception return that he described as \u201cdefinitely bittersweet,\u201d and Manny Arceneaux, on a 12-yard reception, scored touchdowns for the Lions (3-5), who dropped their second-straight game. B.C.’s other point came on a Richie Leone convert of the Phillips TD.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t do the necessary things to win,\u201d said Phillips. \u201cThat\u2019s the only way you can put it. We didn\u2019t execute on offence and we allowed too many big runs on our return game and too many big runs on defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Alouettes racked up 394 yards in net offence while Montreal starting quarterback Rakeem Cato completed 16 of 19 passes for 154 yards, recording a touchdown and an interception.<\/p>\n

Former Lion Stefan Logan, who was released by B.C. in the off-season, finished with 185 all-purpose yards, including 131 off punt and kickoff returns.<\/p>\n

After Marsh and Sutton combined for the decisive points, Bede\u2019s 32-yard third field goal rounded out the scoring and gave Montreal more hope for a playoff berth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019ve got a great chance to make the playoffs,\u201d said Logan. \u201cWe\u2019ve just gotta keep fighting and keep doing what we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lions now head into a bye week with plenty to think about.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gotta go back to the drawing board and get our stuff together, because right now? We\u2019re killing ourselves,\u201d said Phillips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
