It didn’t take long for Alvin Kamara to deliver on Christmas Day.
The New Orleans Saints running back crossed for a 40-yard touchdown run in the starting unit of the game to a 7-0 lead. And he did it in style, with a pair of green and red Christmas-themed cleats that can charge a league fine.
Kamara, who scored again in the first quarter, now has 17 touchdowns this season – a shy of his career record. And he has already established a high career with scrimmage yards. Kamara has just been nominated for his fourth Pro Bowl in four years earlier this week.

The Saints’ offensive line also deserves credit, in a day when the owners, Andrus Peat and Nick Easton, are injured. The line opened a big hole for Kamara against Minnesota’s exhausted defense.
