NEW ORLEANS -- Alvin Kamara went dashing through the Minnesota Vikings defense Friday with a Christmas Day performance for the ages.
Kamara ran for six touchdowns -- tied for the most in NFL history with Ernie Nevers of the Chicago Cardinals in 1929 -- as the New Orleans Saints clinched their fourth straight NFC South title with a 52-33 victory in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
According to the NFL Record and Fact Book, Nevers' record was tied for the longest-standing record in the NFL.
Kamara is only the fourth player ever to score six TDs of any kind a game, joining Nevers, Gale Sayers (1965) and Dub Jones (1951), according to research by ESPN Stats and Information.
