Saints backfield: Competition never hurt anyone

Ingram sat on the bench as his teammate, Tim Hightower, had a great day against a tough Seahawk defense. Hightower ran for 102 yards on 26 attempts, the best rushing performance from a Saints running back though the eight weeks of regular season play.

After Hightower’s commendable performance, it was up to Ingram to prove if he belonged in the backfield, and boy did he deliver. One week later he blasted through the 49ers’ defense for a 75-yard run and a touchdown.

Pre-Seahawks Game includes all seven games plus the Seahawks game. Post-Seahawks Game includes the last four games played against the 49ers, Broncos, Panthers, and Rams.
