Saints RB Kamara named FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week

After scoring an NFL record rushing six touchdowns in a 52-33 beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas day, Saints running back Alvin Kamara was an easy choice for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honor.

The 25-year-old Kamara racked up 155 yards on 22 carries on the ground – averaging 7.0 yards per carry – and another 17 yards on three receptions.

His six rushing touchdowns are tied for the most all-time in one game with Ernie Nevers for the Cardinals in 1929.
