It’s been a disastrous season for Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints.
Entering Week 13’s game against the Miami Dolphins, the Saints hold one of the worst records in football at 2-9, and also in last place in the NFC South.
Kamara, who has made the postseason in each of his first four seasons (2017-2020) has not made been on a postseason team with the Saints in the last four seasons and counting.
Though they won’t be playing for playoff implications this weekend, a win is still good for some momentum heading into the offseason.
