Kamara Scores 6 Touchdowns In Saints NFC South-Clinching Win

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Alvin Kamara tied a 91-year-old NFL record while helping the New Orleans Saints wrap up their fourth consecutive NFC South title. Kamara ran for a career-high 155 yards and tied an NFL record with six rushing touchdowns as the Saints ripped the Vikings, 52-33. He equaled a single-game record for rushing TDs set by Hall of Fame fullback Ernie Nevers in 1929 for the Chicago Cardinals. Kamara sprinted for a 40-yard touchdown on the game’s opening drive and added five more TDs inside the Minnesota 7.  The 11-4 Saints never punted and set a record of yards gained in a game by a Vikings opponent with 583. Drew Brees completed 19 of 26 throws for 311 yards in his second game back from rib and lung injuries that had sidelined him for four games. It was the most points allowed by the Vikings since 1963.
