Regina, SK – (July 9, 2011) – Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo has tied the CFL’s all-time record for career passing touchdowns.
Calvillo connected with Tim Maypray for a 55-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of today’s game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium, giving him 394 career passing touchdowns and a share of the record set by Damon Allen.
The touchdown pass was Calvillo’s fifth of the game, equalling his career-high. He also threw for more than 400 yards in a game for the 27th time in his career.
The 18-year CFL veteran also ranks second in career passing yards, completions and pass attempts.
The Alouettes defeated the Roughriders 39-25, improving their record to 2-0 on the season.
Calvillo will have the opportunity to break the record next week in Montreal when the Als host the Toronto Argonauts on Friday, July 15.
