Montreal, October 4, 2022 – Montreal Alouettes linebacker Tyrice Beverette was named the CFL Player of the Week.The Lakewood, NJ native recorded five defensive tackles, a knockdown, and most of all, made an interception which he returned 100 yards for the winning touchdown in an important road game. He helped Montreal win a fifth game in its last six, allowing the team reach the ,500 barrier for the first time this season.With the Elks up 18-17 in the fourth quarter, and threatening to accentuate their lead, deep in the Alouettes territory, the former Stony Brook University Seawolf changed the pace of the game with a crucial play.
