WATCH: Alvin Kamara scores first playoff TD to help ice Saints’ Wild Card win over Panthers

Alvin Kamara scored his first playoff touchdown on Sunday evening in a Wild Card game between the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers.

The beloved former Tennessee running back and current Saints star plunged into the end zone from two yards out to give his team a 31-19 lead (after the made PAT) in the fourth quarter.

The Kamara score helped ice the game for the Saints, as they went on to win 31-26 and advance to the NFL’s Divisional rounds.

Kamara has been phenomenal in his rookie season, combining with teammate Mark Ingram to become the NFL’s first-ever RB tandem to each have 1,500+ yards from scrimmage.
