Week after week, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara continues to set records. Previously this season, he reached the 10,000 all-purpose yards milestone, becoming the first Saint to ever reach that landmark. Now, Kamara continues to look to add to his extremely successful career by tying another record during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Kamara came into the game with five two-point conversions in his career during the regular season. The all-time leader is Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Marshall Faulk, who had seven in his storied career. Kamara was able to get two of these conversions so far in the game against Minnesota, so they currently are tied for the NFL record.
The one thing worth noting here is that Faulk did have an eighth conversion which occurred in the playoffs, so he does have eight in his career total between the regular season and postseason. Former Saints running back Mark Ingram II also had one in the playoffs, so if we count that, Kamara is tied for second place with Ingram for total career conversions.
Two more conversions would clear Kamara of both records, one more would clear him of the regular season record. It’s another impressive feat for the veteran Saint, who continues to be one of the most impressive offensive weapons in franchise history.
