The New Orleans Saints offense thinks it’s 2020. The Saints just dialed up a screen pass to Alvin Kamara for a 57-yard touchdown reception. Thank you, Klint Kubiak.
This play was the longest reception of Kamara’s career and his second-longest play from scrimmage. Kamara wasn’t the only player to register the longest catch of his career versus the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Derek Carr also dropped a 70-yard bomb to Rashid Shaheed in the first quarter.
Kamara took the screen pass from inside Saints territory and was faced with open grass. It was a genuinely perfectly executed screen pass as all of the defensive linemen ran upfield. Kamara then outran any pursuit from Cowboys defenders.
The reception was Kamara’s second touchdown of the game. The running back converted an easy rushing touchdown for the first score of the day. Kamara later added another rushing touchdown in the second quarter to bring his total to three in the first half.
