NEW ORLEANS – The first indication that Alvin Kamara wasn't going to be denied on Sunday came on the first play of the game.
He was hit 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage on a jet sweep. But he shed the tackle and wound up gaining 5 yards.
Three hours later, Kamara had 116 yards from scrimmage, three touchdowns and maybe a dozen of those broken tackles to help the New Orleans Saints break free as the team to beat in the NFC with a 45-35 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
