On the opening possession of the game, Kamara capped the Saints’ drive with a 40-yard touchdown. He added scoring runs of 1, 5, 6, 7, and 3 yards. His six touchdowns tied Hall of Fame fullback Ernie Nevers, who accomplished the feat in 1929 for the Chicago Cardinals.

"The offensive line gets the game ball for sure, kudos to them," Kamara said after the game. "Sean (Payton, the Saints coach) dialed it up, I did the small part.
