It only took Alvin Kamara six games to surpass his touchdown total from 2023. The New Orleans Saints running back followed his blockers and took advantage of a big gap created by right tackle Trevor Penning to twist and slip into the end zone, retaking the lead against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The difference between last year and this year is night and day for Alvin Kamara. Not only has his usage significantly higher, his touchdown rate is back up. There was once a time where Kamara was a touchdown machine.
That time was years ago, but it looks like it’s coming back. Kamara hasn’t scored a combined 10 touchdowns since 2020. That season he led the league with 21 total touchdowns. He hasn’t quite reached double digits, but he is well on the way if he keeps this up.
Kamara has now scored seven touchdowns this season. That’s more than he scored all season last year, and he’s done it on fewer touches. This rushing touchdown against the Buccaneers was the 60th such score of his career.
