New Orleans rolls to 7th win in row

SAINTS 47, BILLS 10

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.» Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara are so in sync, the New Orleans Saints running back duo is now finishing sentences for one another.

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

“Drew (Brees) got a touchdown. A.K. (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 (7-2) 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 highest in team history.

Buffalo fell to 5-4.

“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, while Brees scrambled in from 7 yards. Edmunds capped the run of rushing touchdowns with a 41-yard scamper.

The Saints never punted by scoring on eight of their nine possessions, not including two mean-nothing drives to close both halves in a game they finished with 482 yards and 32 first downs.

“That felt like the longest game of my life,” Bills linebacker Preston Brown said.
