Payton: Kamara's season-low 9 touches a byproduct of big-play offense

When it comes to figuring out how the New Orleans Saints will divide the work load, the way Mark Ingram's first post-suspension game went was not necessarily indicative of how it will go in the future.

In the Saints' 43-19 win against the Redskins, Ingram touched the ball twice as many times (18) as his counterpart Alvin Kamara (9). It was by far the lowest touch total of the season for Kamara, who was coming off back-to-back games in which the Saints used him heavily -- touching the ball 31 times against Atlanta and 24 times against New York.
