METAIRIE, La. -- Mark Ingram is no longer in timeout.
The New Orleans Saints running back finally made his way off the bench three series into Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, one week after he was demoted for fumbling for the second game in a row.
He quickly made up for lost time.
Ingram ran for 158 yards on just 15 carries -- including a career-long 75-yard touchdown. He also caught two passes for 13 yards, including another touchdown. He earned a game ball for his efforts.
