We’re now at 49 days until the New Orleans Saints season opener, which makes this 49-yard walk-off touchdown by Alvin Kamara our Saints play of the day. Kamara had a career day against the New York Giants, totaling 181 yards from scrimmage along with three rushing touchdowns. It was a statement performance from the second-year pro at the time.
During this play, the Saints were up by 8 points with 2:16 left in regulation, which meant this was a crucial drive for both teams. The Saints decided to run a simple power play to Kamara on first down, likely just trying to run the clock down to two minutes as they had already passed midfield. But when you give the ball to special players, special things happen.
Set up by great blocks by fullback Zach Line and tight end Josh Hill, Kamara hit a seam with great burst and was off to the races. With one defender to beat at the second level, Kamara granted him a final stiff arm before gliding his way into the end zone to seal the game for the Saints. He and Michael Thomas kept running into the tunnel after that, making one of the defining moments in what was a special season for New Orleans.
