Alvin Kamara sets Saints' record with four rushing touchdowns - ESPN

4:53 PM ET

It didn't take long for Alvin Kamara to deliver on Christmas Day.

The New Orleans Saints running back cruised to a 40-yard touchdown run on the game's opening drive for a quick lead over the Minnesota Vikings. And he did it in style with a pair of green-and-red Christmas-themed cleats that may draw a fine from the league.

Kamara, who has scored five touchdowns against the Vikings, now has 20 touchdowns on the season -- his career high. Kamara is the first player since Clinton Portis in 2003 to rush for five TDs in a game. Kamara also set a career high with yards from scrimmage. He was named to his fourth Pro Bowl in four years earlier this week.

The Saints' offensive line deserves credit, too, on a day when both starting guards Andrus Peat and Nick Easton are out with injuries. The line blew open a big hole for Kamara against Minnesota's injury-depleted defense.

Kamara may also be benefitting from his festive cleats.
