The Saints have taken a commanding lead over Dallas in the first half of their Week 2 matchup thanks to the star running back's production. Kamara thrashed through the Cowboys' defense for three touchdowns before the break to set the tone for New Orleans.

The Saints and RB Alvin Kamara were unable to reach a long-term deal despite negotiating the entire offseason and all the way until the start of the season, per Ian Rapoport. However, Kamara’s scintillating start to the season has put him in an excellent position for when contract talks resume.
