Christmas of 2020 was largely a night to remember for the New Orleans Saints — particularly one New Orleans Saint.

However, a commanding offensive performance against the Vikings didn't come without a negative. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander suffered an injury that may be serious.

Alexander came to New Orleans from the San Francisco 49ers in a midseason trade in return for Kiko Alonso and a conditional 2022 fifth-round draft pick. Prior to Friday's game, Alexander had recorded four pass deflections, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and 24 tackles with the Saints.

UPDATE
ESPN'S Adam Schefter reported that the injury was what many feared: a torn Achilles.
