New Orleans Saints: 3 best offensive players in dominant win over Falcons
Number Three: Latavius Murray
This may come as a bit of a surprise to many New Orleans Saints fans, but I truly believe that running back Latavius Murray had the third-best offensive outing on Sunday afternoon.
Usually, when it comes to Saints running backs, Alvin Kamara tends to steal the show, but this week Murray seemed to make the most of his touches and make big plays when they needed them most.
Murray recorded a solid stat line which included 12 carries, 49 rushing yards, a 4.1 yards per rush average, two receptions, and 36 receiving yards. Murray totaled 85 all-purpose yards which was more than Alvin Kamara, Emmanuel Sanders, Deonte Harris, and Jared Cook.
Taysom Hill may have stolen all the touchdowns, but Murray played a pivotal role in helping guide the team down the field.
Murray has very quietly been putting up another great season for the Saints and if he keeps it up he will only see his workload increase more and more each week.
