RB Alvin Kamara vs. Colts’ defensive front seven

Even though the Colts’ defense has been very solid while defending the run, they can’t overlook their next opponent in that department. While running back Alvin Kamara hasn’t been his often dynamic and versatile self because of injuries, he’s still capable of being the game-breaker in the Saints’ offense. Especially when his backup is also capable of doing the same.

Despite being ranked 16th in rushing yards per game (108), the duo of Kamara and Latavius Murray have combined for 1,000+ yards this season; while also averaging 4.4 and 4.7 yards per carry, respectively. Although their opponent possess a great passing attack, the Colts have to take the chance of stopping the Saints’ running game in order to put them in longer down and distance situations.
