New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram looked fresh off of his four-game suspension, posting up 53 yards and two scores on the ground in his 2018 debut. Those numbers aren’t too flashy on the surface, but they carry huge ramifications later on down the line. He’s gaining more ground on Saints legend Deuce McAllister’s franchise records.
McAllister set the bar for every Saints running back to play after him with 6,096 career rushing yards and 49 touchdowns. If not for Ingram, those records would have lasted for years to come; the only other players to come close were Pierre Thomas (3,745 yards and 28 scores) and Reggie Bush (2,090 yards and 17 touchdowns).
