Saints ride Kamara’s 3 TDs, defense to 24-0 win over Raiders

Associated Press  

NEW ORLEANS — Saints running back Alvin Kamara has his teammates’ attention as he explores the bounds of his leadership in his first season wearing a captain’s “C” on his jersey. The sixth-year running back demanded better from everyone in a speech to the team following a mistake-filled Oct. 20 loss at Arizona and followed that up by saying publicly last week that New Orleans intended to “whoop” the Raiders for Saints coach Dennis Allen. “Clearly we didn’t do a good enough job with him or with tackling when he had the ball in space.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “By far, this was the most complete game that we’ve played,” said Dalton, who threw three interceptions — two returned for touchdowns — at Arizona.
