Ingram, Kamara make win big, easy

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara are so in sync, the Saints’ running backs are finishing sentences for one another.

“Listen, it’s fun whenever we’re scoring at will,” Ingram said after a 47-10 win over the Bills Sunday, before sounding like Oprah on a giveaway show.

“Drew (Brees) got a touchdown. AK (Kamara) got a touchdown. Trey (Edmunds) got a touchdown. Man, that’s what we work for, so everybody eats.”

That’s when Kamara interjected by noting to Ingram, “You don’t want to say you got three touchdowns,” before the two broke into a fit of laughter.

Ingram had 131 yards rushing and scored three times, and the Saints won their seventh straight in producing one of the most prolific running performances in franchise history. The six touchdowns rushing set a franchise record, and New Orleans’ 298 yards rushing were the third most in team history.

“We came out and wanted to impose our will,” said Kamara, who scored once and added 106 yards rushing. “We were in the locker room and said, ‘We’ve got to put pressure on them to break their neck.’ ”

Ingram set a career high by scoring twice from 3 yards and another from 1 yard. Kamara scored on a 5-yard run, and Brees scrambled in from 7 yards. Edmunds capped the run of rushing touchdowns with a 41-yard scamper.

The Saints did not punt by scoring on eight of their nine possessions, not including two mean-nothing possessions to close both halves in a game in which they finished with 482 yards and 32 first downs.

The Saints (7-2) became the second team in the Super Bowl era to win seven straight after starting the season 0-2, joining the 1993 Cowboys, who beat Buffalo in the Super Bowl.

The Bills (5-4) so completely unraveled on defense, linebacker Preston Brown didn’t know what hit them. “That felt like the longest game of my life,” Brown said. “Every time they ran the ball: 8 yards. Every time they passed the ball: 15, 20 yards. Nothing worked today.”
