  2005 CFL season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2005 Canadian Football League season is considered to be the 52nd season in modern-day Canadian football, although it is officially the 48th Canadian Football League season.
The perennial powerhouse Alouettes had boasted four 1,000-yard receivers for the second consecutive season (and second time in CFL history), but had finished a mere second in the East Division behind the defending champion Toronto Argonauts.
During the 2004 CFL season, the Toronto Argonauts stunned Montréal at their own field, taking a 26-18 victory over the favoured Alouettes in the East final.
