The last time the Texas Rangers headed to Tampa for a game, they were coming off a loss in their regular-season finale that cost them the AL West title and made them a wild-card team. This time, the World Series champs take an 11-game road winning streak back to where that MLB-record postseason run started last October. Texas' road opener Monday night is the start of a three-game set against the Rays.
Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for New Orleans' regular-season finale on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Meanwhile, Atlanta ruled out quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who'd recently taken over as starter but injured his ankle last week and had been listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week. Kamara, who injured his ankle during the Saints' victory in Tampa Bay last week, did not practice this week but had been listed as questionable in Friday's final injury report.
