New Orleans Saints: 3 studs, 2 duds in dominant victory over Bucs
Dud No. 2: Latavius Murray
The New Orleans Saints were able to enter the third quarter up 20-7.
This allowed them for freedom on offense which, in turn, meant Latavius Murray was going to see more time. However, unlike when he was the starting running back, Murray touches weren’t exactly overly dominant.
Murray ended the game with ten carries for 27 yards.
Aside from one 12-yard gain, Murray had just nine carries for 15 yards. He also notched two receptions for just five more yards. Ultimately, this wasn’t Murray’s best showing, but the team didn’t necessarily need it to be.
Prior to the game against Atlanta, Murray had two straight 100-yard performances while Kamara was nursing an ankle injury. He has the talent, like Ingram did, to be an every-down back. In his time in Week 11, it just wasn’t his best showing.
