Alvin Kamara scores four times

Alvin Kamara put up one of the best performances across the league on Sunday afternoon. He found the end zone four times throughout the game as a dual-threat from the backfield.

On the ground, Kamara rushed 20 times for 115 yards and three touchdowns. Through the air, he caught two passes for 65 yards and a touchdown.

This helped the Saints put up 44 points in a big win over the Cowboys. It also marked 6,000 career rushing yards in the NFL for Kamara.

Alontae Taylor continues great start

On defense for the Saints, Alontae Taylor continued his successful start to the year. He recorded four sacks in week one and responded with another solid day.

He led the team in tackles with nine. Eight of these were solo efforts, as well. He also came up with two tackles for loss.

This was a big piece of New Orleans' defensive puzzle that limited the Cowboys to 19 points.

Receivers start to get things rolling

While none were game wreckers, Tennessee still had some receivers get the ball rolling for 2024.

With the 49ers, Jauan Jennings caught a pair of passes for 37 yards. This included a 25-yard grab. However, San Francisco lost the game to the Vikings.

Another receiver to get in the mix were Cedric Tillman who caught a pass for the Browns in their win over the Jaguars.
