There haven’t been many better running back duos than Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram, who shared the New Orleans Saints backfield in 2017 and 2018. “Boom and Zoom” combined for 5,364 scrimmage yards and 43 touchdowns scored in 31 games together, including the playoffs, but their combination of play styles and on-field success might have been outweighed by two charismatic personalities and genuine friendship.
So it’s great to see them together again in a segment for “NFL GameDay,” where both Pro Bowlers reviewed each other’s game tape since Ingram left in free agency to sign with the Baltimore Ravens.
“Get in the end zone, finish the play A.K.!” Ingram chided after Kamara’s 28-yard reception down the sideline against the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this year. The veteran back pointed to a similar highlight reel-worthy play Kamara made in their 2018 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, when Kamara beat his future teammate Malcolm Jenkins for a 37-yard touchdown grab.
It’s all good-natured ribbing between friends, and Kamara and Ingram clearly haven’t missed a beat despite the time and distance put between them. This isn’t their first collaboration in the years since that split; Kamara also appeared on Ingram’s “Truss Levelz” podcast with Cameron Jordan over the summer. Here’s to more of this great chemistry down the line.
