The Saints scored on a 7-yard run by Taysom Hill, a 17-yard touchdown pass from Carr to tight end Foster Moreau and a three Blake Grupe field goals. Carr, who missed the previous three games with an oblique injury, was 18 of 31 for 236. Kamara had his best game of the season with 29 carries for 155 yards and six catches for 60 yards. He is now 13 yards short of becoming the franchise's all-time rushing leader.
