Alvin Kamara put the New Orleans Saints ahead of the New England Patriots by two scores on Sunday with a touchdown run that was big for multiple reasons.
The Saints offense had been without a touchdown since the first quarter of the Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers, with both the special teams and defensive units scoring touchdowns in the meantime. Finally finding the endzone again could mean big things for the offense’s confidence.
With the touchdown run, Kamara also broke Marques Colston’s franchise touchdown scoring record. Kamara is now up to 73 touchdowns on his career. He has 50 rushing touchdowns, 22 receiving and one kickoff return touchdown from his rookie season. It was his first score of the season as he missed the first three games with suspension, his return to the field has opened up the offense much more.
