- New Orleans running back rushes for six touchdowns in rout
- Minnesota Vikings 33-52 New Orleans Saints
Alvin Kamara tied an NFL record by running for six touchdowns in a game and finished with a career-high 155 yards rushing to help New Orleans beat the Minnesota Vikings 52-33 and clinch a fourth straight NFC South title.
Wearing different colored shoes – one red and one green – for Christmas Day, Kamara sprinted for a 40-yard touchdown on the game’s opening drive. He added five more scoring runs, all on rushes of below 10 yards, against a Minnesota defensive front hit hard by injuries. Kamara equaled a record set by Hall of Fame fullback Ernie Nevers in 1929 for the Chicago Cardinals.
