EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- Ricky Ray threw two touchdowns passes as the Edmonton Eskimos stomped the Montreal Alouettes, 37-14.

After a field goal, Ray and Kelly Campbell combined on a 28-yard scoring play to make it 20-7 at the half.

The Eskimos put the game out of reach on A.J. Harris' three-yard run that made it 27-7.

Edmonton will play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the first round of the playoffs. The winner of that game will face Montreal.
