Alvin Kamara claims the Saints franchise rushing touchdowns record

With two scores in the second half against the Detroit Lions, Alvin Kamara broke the Saints franchise record for most career rushing touchdowns:

Alvin Kamara now holds the record for most rushing touchdowns in New Orleans Saints history. This season has been full of record breaking moments for Alvin Kamara. He has broken the team record for most total touchdowns, 2 point conversions and now rushing touchdowns. He took the title from his old running mate, Mark Ingram, for those last two records. He also tied the lead for the most 2-point conversions in league history this year.

Kamara scored two touchdowns in the second half against the Detroit Lions, both of which were scores at the goal line. These scores helped New Orleans be more efficient in the red zone. Despite Kamara playing well, these were his first touchdowns since Oct. 29 versus the Indianapolis Colts.

It didn’t take long for Kamara to establish himself as one of the best running backs in the league. Through his career, his versatility and dynamic skill set has set him apart from his peers. He’s used that to establish himself as a Saints legend.

Every 1,000-yard rusher in New Orleans Saints history

Mark Ingram and Deuce McAllister are the latest Saints running backs to rush for over 1,000 yards. How many Saints have achieved this feat? | @southexclusives

The New Orleans Saints have had 13 seasons in team history where a rusher eclipsed the 1,000 rushing yards threshold. Running back Deuce McAllister has the most such seasons, rushing for over 1,000 yards four times in five seasons between 2002 to 2006.

Mark Ingram II was the last Saints rusher to achieve this feat in 2017. The Saints splitting the carries in the backfield has made it more difficult to accomplish in recent years.

Jamaal Williams has the best chance to break the drought. With a potential Alvin Kamara suspension on the table, Williams will likely lead the team in carries at times this season. If he succeeds, Williams would be the eighth rusher to cross century mark in Saints history. Here’s the full list so far:

New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram II suffers MCL tear

Former Alabama running back Mark Ingram II will be sidelined after suffering a MCL tear against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

One former Alabama player received some bad news on Wednesday. Saints running back Mark Ingram II suffered a slight MCL tear which will cause him to miss 4-6 weeks. The news was first reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Ingram II has been in the NFL since being drafted in 2011 by the Saints. Since then, the former Heisman winner has played for the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. Now, he is back with the Saints for his second stint with the organization.

The Saints are in dire need of a win after dropping to 4-9 on the season. It looks like they will be without their “do-it-all” running back with Ingram II sidelined.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Ingram’s injury status as well as other former Alabama players in the NFL.

WATCH: Mark Ingram II debuts new number with New Orleans Saints

Mark Ingram II changing numbers ahead of 2022 season!

Former Crimson Tide running-back, Mark Ingram II, was acquired by the New Orleans Saints from the Houston Texans for a seventh-round draft pick in October of 2021. For the remainder of the 2021 season, Ingram wore No. 14, however, he will be changing to No. 5 ahead of the 2022 season.

Ingram was originally selected by the Saints in the first-round pick with the No. 28 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. He debuted wearing No. 28, before eventually changing to No. 22 ahead of the 2013 season. So No. 5 is the fourth jersey number Ingram II has worn with the Saints.

Ingram looks clean in the new No. 5, see below:

Mark Ingram II with classy goodbye to Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are cutting ties with veteran RB Mark Ingram II

The Baltimore Ravens’ running game blossomed and as it did with Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards, Mark Ingram became the odd-man out.

After being a healthy scratch down the stretch and in the playoffs, the Ravens have released the veteran running back.

Ingram was grateful for his two seasons with the Ravens.

Ingram joined the Ravens on a three-year, $15 million deal in the 2019 offseason. He rushed for 1,018 yards and scored 15 touchdowns in his first season with the team.

In 2020, he had 299 yards in 11 games.
