Saints running back Mark Ingram twice was pulled by coach Sean Payton while the team was near the goal line during its 48-41 road win over the Cardinals on Sunday. After backup Tim Hightower scored the second time, Ingram was caught on camera (below) yelling at Payton before being ushered away by a teammate.
