Alvin Kamara Runs for Six Touchdowns Against Vikings

That personal success has come all season for Kamara, who during training camp signed a five-year contract worth up to $75 million. He has since set franchise records for rushing touchdowns in a season with 16 and total touchdowns with 21.

A possible fine would come from wearing shoes that didn’t conform to the N.F.L.’s uniform codes.

“If they fine me, whatever it is, I’ll just match it and donate to charity,” he said. “You know, the Grinch always tries to steal Christmas.”

Kamara slipped a couple of tackle attempts and then sprinted into the clear for a 40-yard touchdown on the game’s opening drive. He added scoring runs of 1, 5, 6, 7 and 3 yards against a Minnesota defensive front hit hard by injuries, and equaled the Hall of Fame fullback Ernie Nevers’ achievement.

“It was awesome,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. “Six touchdowns for a running back is just astounding.”
