Alvin Kamara didn’t touch the ball in the first half of Sunday’s game, but he finally got the ball in the third quarter and he gave the Saints their first points of the afternoon.
The veteran running back powered for a three-yard score that made it 7-7 with just over eight minutes off the clock in the second half. It was Kamara’s 90th career touchdown.
The Panthers got the ball to start the half and converted a fourth down, but a Colby Wooden sack a few plays later forced a punt. The Saints were able to convert a fourth down of their own after failing twice in the first half and Kamara made the drive pay off.
The Saints have ruled linebacker Pete Werner out for the remainder of the day with a hamstring injury.
