Have Alvin Kamara on your fantasy team? Well, the Saints superstar running back has quite the Christmas gift for you. As he sported green and red cleats during the rare holiday matchup, Kamara rushed for 155 yards and six touchdowns in New Orleans's NFC South-clinching win over the Minnesota Vikings. Of course, this six-touchdown performance caught the attention of the entire NFL landscape as Kamara ran his way into the record books.
The back is just the second player in league history to rush for six touchdowns. Ernie Nevers was the first and last person to do it prior to Kamara's big night. Nevers did it back in 1929 as a member of the Chicago Cardinals during a 40-6 victory over the Bears. Kamara also became just the fourth player in NFL history to score six or more touchdowns in a single game, joining Gale Sayers (1965), Dub Jones (1951), and Nevers for the rare feat.
