Don’t look now, but New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is making up for lost time. Kamara has made four trips into the end zone in his last two games, and there’s still more than a half of football yet to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
Kamara scored two touchdown runs against the Tennessee Titans a week ago. He’s already matched that total this week, granting the Saints their easiest opening-drive score of the year at Carolina. The Saints converted three first downs on their first three plays of the game, and capped it all off with Kamara’s 15-yard run through the heart of the Panthers defense. See it for yourself:
Later on, Kamara again found himself set up in scoring position. The Saints snapped the ball at the goal-line and Kamara followed the play design to take the handoff and cut upfield, following the left tackle. He bounced off of a Panthers defender — his signature move — to hit paydirt, extending New Orleans’ lead. Yeah, he’s back, and just in time for the playoffs.
