Opportunistic Latavius Murray making case for larger role with Saints

NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees doesn’t plan to keep the ball from his first post-surgery touchdown pass on Sunday.

He’s going to let new teammate Latavius Murray have that one -- because it was actually Murray’s first TD catch in seven NFL seasons.

“That’s all his. He earned it,” said Brees, who leaned on Murray quite a bit in the New Orleans Saints' win on Sunday, completing nine passes to him for 55 yards while fellow running back Alvin Kamara was sidelined by ankle and knee injuries for the second straight week.
