Of all his amazing plays this season, to me that's the most impressive. We haven't had a back who could have scored on that play since Deuce.

What makes it so amazing is that the defender had the perfect angle to deliver the kill shot and he got him good and knocked him back but he still had the power and agility to fight through it and fall forward.

Flashback to Jimmy Graham's last season when he caught a pass at the goal line and got out muscled by a CB on 4th down.

Not trying to dog Graham but some players just have that knack for absorbing contact and others don't.

I read some poster somewhere describe Reggie's ankles as made of glass. So true. Kamara just steps through shoestring tackles with no problem.

Love the fact that Butch was such an idiot that he has low tread too.

to Kamara, and to Payton for trusting him and going for it. 2014-16 Payton kicks the field goal there.

Kamara is a human cheat code and should never not be used in 4th & Goal situations

well... that's part of what was frustrating about Graham at the end... when everything was good between Jimmy and The Saints, back in the glory days, he would run 10 yards with dudes draped all over his back. No idea what happened except maybe he was butthurt and decided to stop trying so hard.

But yeah it's nice to have a guy like AK and see a play get blown up and be able to feel something other than utter despair.

he never came back mentally from his injuries. Especially after his 2nd shoulder injury, it was obvious he was afraid to go over the middle.

I just remember it was a do or die game and he got completely owned at the goal line by a dude 50 pounds lighter.

It was infuriating that he couldn't just push through.

Props to Ingram for getting that first yesterday when it looked like he had no chance. It's a game of inches...

More like props to Unger for following through and helping Ingram. Ingram was great on that catch & run to get in position, but if Unger doesn't come behind him and carry him the extra yard, Ingram doesn't get there.

It was amazing. I can't believe how his body just seemed to change direction before he even got his second foot down.

That is an incredible sense of balance he has and the reaction time and instinct to shift his center of balance quick enough to actually recover from a pretty big hit.

I am convinced he actually is in a Matrix like slow motion state when defenders get near him...there is no other explanation for that TD.

Graham scored a TD on that play. Refs completely blew the call

I’m not gay, but I would marry Alvin Kamara.

And we’d have a beautiful little biracial babies.

If y'all play your cards right, you might just get into a TV commercial.

They said in postgame that the OL are being coached to always be ready to go upfield because Ingram and Kamara are so liable to explode downfield and need help. Super awesome.

It's like he's made of silicone sometimes. I've told the wife many times this year, that when they try to tackle him, he wiggles and they slide off. Never seen that before
