Saints' Alvin Kamra Ties Single-Game NFL Record With Six Rushing TDs vs. Vikings

Saints running back Alvin Kamara tied a single-game NFL record with six rushing touchdowns in New Orleans' 52–33 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day.

His sixth, and final, touchdown came with just 1:50 to go in the contest and helped seal New Orleans' victory.

Kamara's sixth score brought him into a tie with Hall of Famer Ernie Nevers of the Chicago Cardinals, who ran for six touchdowns in a 1929 win over the Bears.

Earlier in the game, Kamara became the first player since Clinton Portis since 2003 to rush for five scores in a game and just the second player since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 to rush for five touchdowns.
