The Saints' run game was historically bad in Week 7, with New Orleans rushing 17 times for 18 yards and running backs averaging 0.8 yards per carry.

Kamara and the Saints' backfield are caught in a systemic run game collapse that has persisted since last season despite significant offseason investment in offensive line upgrades.

Saints (vs Steelers): CJ Donaldson left in the 1st half with a shoulder injury and did not return, which condensed the backfield Personnel on dropbacks: 11 at 85%, 12 at 10%, 13 at 5% RBs: Alvin Kamara: 54% opp share, 38% rush att share, 54% route share, 32% TPRR, 2.59 YPRR, 0% of i10 rush att, 25% of 2min RB snaps, 58% 3rd down snap share Saints cannot run the ball so getting Kamara going in the pass game almost as an extension makes sense - just a flex Kendre Miller: 46% opp share, 50% rush...

Alvin Kamara carried 6 times for 5 rushing yards (0.8 yards per carry) and caught 7 passes for 57 receiving yards in the Saints' 16-10 loss to Pittsburgh in Paris. The extremely low rushing efficiency and minimal ground game production (Saints totaled 17 carries, 18 yards as a team) reflects a struggling offensive line and game script; Kamara's receiving volume (7 receptions) provided some PPR value but the overall performance was disappointing.

Alvin Kamara was efficient in the Saints' best rushing performance of the season against the Giants, rushing for 4.9 yards per carry; he scored a touchdown and demonstrated the rushing success the Saints will need to replicate against Pittsburgh's 14th-ranked run defense. The source notes Kamara and C.J. Donaldson were more efficient with their touches than Kendre Miller, suggesting Kamara's efficiency is a key component of the Saints' offensive strategy.
