Alvin Kamara's biggest game of season leads Saints to shutout win over Raiders

The New Orleans Saints may only have three wins this season, but they secured their most dominant victory this Sunday. A 24-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders was headlined by a dominant performance by running back Alvin Kamara.

The RB didn't score a single touchdown heading into Week 8 but ended Sunday's game with three. He had 18 rushes for 62 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He also had nine catches for 96 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.

Fans were doubtful that the running back would even have any production in Week 8 as he didn't start the game initially. He missed time earlier this season due to a rib injury and was feared to have been dealing with the injury yet again when he didn't start.

However, once he entered the game, he ended up being the driving force behind the Saints' dominant win over the Raiders. His versatility as not only a running back but also as a receiving option in the Saints offense made him the X-factor in the game and a candidate for one of the best performances of the week.
