BEST QUOTE FROM ALVIN KAMARA'S 2024 SEASON:

"I know everybody was talking about the 50 yards. I wanted it, but I've never chased records in this league. I've never chased, like, 'Oh, I want to get 1,200 yards.' I've never chased that and because of that, I think I've been able to keep the game pure, in a sense."
