New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara logged his third touchdown of the day against the Las Vegas Raiders to put the Saints up 24-0, catching a pass underneath the coverage and sprinting 36 yards for the score. The Saints were able to ride the momentum from the first half into their first possession of the second half. Kamara went up to 137 scrimmage yards on the day to go with his three scores. He has one rushing touchdown and two as a receiver so far.

Kamara now trails Marques Colston by just one touchdown in his Saints career, having scored 71 times as a runner, receiver, and returner. Colston owns the franchise record with 72 touchdowns.

Andy Dalton has had a solid bounce-back performance, with an efficient day through the air. The game has been all Saints so far, the defense looking just as good as the offense. Everyone on the team looks to be back on track, but they need to keep it up and close out this win.

WATCH: Alvin Kamara scores two first-half touchdowns vs. Raiders

WATCH: Alvin Kamara finds the endzone for the first time this season with two first-half touchdowns vs. Raiders, via @DillySanders:

After a long tedious week of trade rumors, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara came to work angry with a point to prove against the Las Vegas Raiders. He entered the game with no touchdowns on the season and left the first half with two big rushing scores.

His first capped off the Saints second drive of the day, with a 3-yard run at the goal line to give New Orleans a 7-0 lead. His second touchdown was an extremely strong run after a catch where he was able to showcase his balance through contact, catching a 2-yard checkdown and then ricocheting off of several Raiders defenders for 14 more yards. He scored by extending his arm out and reaching the goal line after the 16-yard pickup. The Saints went up 17-0 after the score, giving them a much-needed lead near halftime.

What’s more, NFL Research found that Kamara is the first player in league history to record 10 games with at least 1 rushing and 1 receiving touchdown in his first six seasons. He’s a record-setter, and he isn’t finished yet. He needs just two more touchdowns to tie the franchise record Marques Colston set in black and gold (scoring 72 career touchdowns). It’s good to see Kamara end his scoring drought, and if he keeps this up he’ll surpass Colston with quickness.

WATCH: Damien Harris scores first career NFL TD

Former Alabama running back Damien harris scores his first career NFL TD for the new england patriots in his second season vs. the Bills.

Former Alabama running back Damien Harris was drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft by the New England Patriots and has scored his first career touchdown as he continues to take on a larger role for the team.

With Patriots lead back Sony Michel on the injured reserve, Harris has taken on a much larger role. This is an opportunity to showcase his talents, one that he has not yet had since being in the league.

Entering Week 8, through three games played in 2020, the Alabama product has 33 carries for 177 yards and zero touchdowns.

However, today in New England’s contest vs. the Buffalo Bills, an AFC East showdown, Harris has 8 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown. That touchown came on a 22-yard impressive rush.

The touchdown run helped set up a two-point conversion to tie the game up at 14.
