Escape from New York: Alvin Kamara's 49-yard TD clinches Saints' third straight

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Alvin Kamara might finally get a breather when backfield mate Mark Ingram returns from his four-game suspension next week.

But the New Orleans Saints sure are fortunate that he lived up to his leading-man role when they kept needing him in September.

Kamara’s 49-yard touchdown run with 2:06 remaining finally sent the New York Giants fans flooding for the exits as the Saints held on for a sometimes-sloppy 33-18 victory on Sunday.

It was the third touchdown run of the day for Kamara, who carried the ball a career-high 19 times for a career-high 134 yards.
