Two great running backs were off and on their way early on Christmas Day as the New Orleans Saints played host to the Minnesota Vikings.
Alvin Kamara and New Orleans were out of the blocks first as the former Tennessee star ran one in from 40 yards to give the Saints a 7-0 lead.

Kamara added another one on a short run as neither defense was present and accounted for early in the Christmas game.
