New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a historic day yesterday, scoring six rushing touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day.
His performance contributed to numerous achievements on the day:
- The Saints clinched their fourth-consecutive NFC South title,
- The Vikings were officially eliminated from the postseason, and
- A record has been matched that was left unchallenged since 1929.
Kamara became the first NFL player to rush for six touchdowns in a single game since Hall of Famer Ernie Nevers accomplished the feat back in 1929 for the Chicago Cardinals.
