Alvin Kamara looked so disinterested as Jameis Winston ranted to him on the Saints sideline

Despite a top-10, playoff-caliber defense, the 3-3 New Orleans Saints remain a middling team. That’s because of an inconsistent offense that can’t pull its weight, especially in crunch time. It’s even worse when it doesn’t appear like their players are on the same page.

Late in the fourth quarter of New Orleans’ 20-13 loss to the Houston Texans Sunday, backup quarterback Jameis Winston had something seemingly very important to tell Alvin Kamara. Except, based on the look on his face, Kamara didn’t show signs of much interest in whatever Winston was ranting about to him.

If anything, Kamara was making a face that said, “OK, man,” before moving on about his business:

I gotta be honest: I probably would’ve done the same thing in Kamara’s shoes. Who is Winston, the backup quarterback, to go on a random tangent at the game’s most critical juncture? The Saints’ offense missed a field goal, turned the ball over on downs, and threw an interception to lose.

Call it a hunch, but Kamara and Co. had much bigger fish to fry than whatever Winston wanted to tell him.
