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 7-0 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 scored again in the first quarter, now has 17 touchdowns on the season — one shy of his career high. And he has already set a career high with yards from scrimmage. Kamara was just 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 blow open a big hole for Kamara against Minnesota’s injury-depleted defense.
Kamara may also be benefitting from his festive cleats.
