First Touchdown Scored in the Postseason The New Orleans Saints went 11–5 in 2017 and played the Carolina Panthers in the NFC wild card game on January 7, 2018. With five minutes to go in the game, Kamara’s two-yard rushing touchdown increased the Saints’ lead to 31–19 (at 8:24 in the video). Though the Panthers would score again, New Orleans won the game and progressed to the second round of the playoffs.

One of Kamara’s opponents in the game was Christian McCaffrey, another running back who was selected ahead of Kamara in the 2017 draft. McCaffrey also scored one touchdown in the game, but it was not enough to give Carolina the victory.
