WATCH: Taysom Hill ices the game with one of the longest rushes in Saints history

The New Orleans Saints managed to pull away late against the Cleveland Browns, and things wrapped up with a 75-yard touchdown rush by Taysom Hill.

This run tied for the third longest in Saints’ history with Mark Ingram’s 75-yarder and behind George Rogers (79 yards) and Deuce McAllister (76 yards). The rush came with Hill in the wildcat spot, where he took the direct snap and ran around the left side, where pretty much noone was there to meet him and he ran all the way down the field for a touchdown.

And this sealed a victory for the Saints as they went up 35-14, and managed to get to a 4-7 record entering their Week 12 bye.

Alvin Kamara tied up Mark Ingram II’s record for Saints touchdown runs

Another week, another record. Alvin Kamara tied up Mark Ingram II’s record for Saints touchdown runs after scoring twice against the Colts:

Another week, another record for Alvin Kamara. Kamara scored a pair of touchdown runs in Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts to put his career total at 51 scoring runs, which is impressive by itself. But that also ties the record his old teammate Mark Ingram II set for rushing touchdowns in a Saints uniform. One more will break it.

Kamara has already broken his tie with Ingram for the most two-point conversions in Saints franchise history, having also taken the record for the most touchdowns scored for New Orleans from Marques Colston. He still has a lot of football left to play before he’ll call it a career, but Kamara is already one of the most-accomplished players to ever suit up in black and gold.
