Chris Streveler's quarterback keys to victory for the 113th Grey Cup

CALGARY -- The quarterback matchup between Cody Fajardo and Davis Alexander is what has everyone's attention heading into Sunday's 113th Grey Cup.

The CFL's 2026 George Reed Most Outstanding Player and fellow MOP finalist are going head-to-head on the biggest stage, with a championship on the line.

It is shaping up to be a must-see battle between the former Montreal Alouettes teammates, and DAZN's Chris Streveler broke down three keys for both Fajardo and Alexander to lead their teams to a Grey Cup victory on Sunday night.

Here is one key that Streveler detailed for each quarterback.

CODY FAJARDO

DON'T BE AFARID TO USE YOUR LEGS

"Don't be afraid to use your legs to extend drives and pick up a couple of first downs for your offence," Streveler said. "He may be one of the most underrated athletes in the league."

Fajardo displayed that athleticism by leading the CFL in rushing yards among quarterbacks this regular season with 517, to go along with eight rushing touchdowns.

He added 84 yards and a score on the ground in the Edmonton Elks' 28-16 win over the BC Lions in the Western Final presented by Wegovy®.

DAVIS ALEXANDER

ATTACK DOWN THE FIELD

"Attack down the field vertically, but pick your spots," Streveler said. "You look at Tyler Snead, Tyson Philpot, even (Charleston) Rambo, if you take those underneath shots early, those down-the-field shots are gonna open up as the game goes on."

Alexander demonstrated his ability to stretch the field during the regular season, leading the league with 37 completions of 30 or more yards.

He recorded three such completions in Montreal's 33-23 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Eastern Final presented by Wegovy®. Two of those went to Rambo for gains of 52 and 48 yards, while the other went to Tyson Philpot for 32 yards.
