Nothing the Saints do right now is pretty. In a 30-9 win, it’s hard not to notice how hard the offense has to work for every yard. Alvin Kamara’s return, however, makes things flow a little smoother. The star had 31 touches in his first game back from injury, and he made every one count with 120 rushing yards and 25 receiving. The offense runs through Kamara, particularly Taysom Hill’s offense.
The competition gets a lot steeper next week against the Buccaneers. There’s some solace in that the Saints are 3-0 against the Buccaneers in their last three regular season meetings, but the decks haven’t been stacked this much against them.
