OTTAWA - Henry Burris ran for two touchdowns, threw for another two and completed a record-setting night with 45 completions as the Ottawa Redblacks embarrassed the Montreal Alouettes 39-17 on Thursday night.
In the most lopsided win in their two-year history, the Redblacks were led by their 40-year old quarterback, who had 43 completions after three quarters, broke the record of most completions in a game as he finished with 45.
The old record of 44 was set back in 2008 by Anthony Calvillo of the Alouettes.
His 45th completion was a 13-yard pass to Patrick Lavoie early in the fourth quarter. Burris left shortly after giving way to Danny O'Brien, but not before raking up 504 yards through the air on 53 attempts.
All this just after being named one of the three CFL Top Performers for September.
Leading 23-3 at the half, Burris threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Brad Sinopoli and then ran one in himself from a yard out in the third quarter upping that lead to 37-3
