Kamara further said, “In the seven years I’ve been here, offensively, we are used to operating at a certain level of efficiency and effort where we could score at will,”
“When you can do that in this offense and limit the self-inflicted mistakes and penalties, the possibilities are endless. With the playmakers we have, there is enough for everybody. And as a team, when the defense is doing what they are doing, it can get ugly. It’s a great feeling to go out there and put that on display.”
The third-round pick began to accrue honours, such as NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and five and two All-Pro selections. With the victory over the New England Patriots, New Orleans’ season record now stands at 3-2.
The next team the New Orleans Saints will face is the Houston Texans. The Saints, with their current abilities, had an impressive turnaround against the Patriots. The next game will determine how far they can extend their ongoing finesse.
