Alvin Kamara made his return from a 4-game absence in Week 14. It only took him one drive to set a new NFL record.
The first of Kamara's two receptions on the Saints' opening drive marked the 359th of his career, the most in NFL history for a running back through his first five seasons.
The record is on the lower end of Kamara's career holdings, and was really a foregone conclusion heading into the season. But it continues to clearly illustrate Kamara's outsized influence on a Saints offense that has struggled and lost all four games during his absence.
With Kamara back in the fold, the Saints put up three points on their opening possession. It was the first time since Week 8 that the Saints have put up any points on their opening drive of a game. The Saints haven't scored a touchdown on their opening drive of any game this season.
