Rewind 12 months to Christmas 2020 and Alvin Kamara tied an NFL record, running in six touchdowns as the Saints put 52 on the board against the Vikings.
So often their man for the big occasion, the Saints looked a team transformed by his return seven days ago, and he'll have been encouraged by the sight of Josh Allen running straight through the Tampa Bay D time and time again last Sunday.
The Bucs collapsed against the Bills and were extremely fortunate to come away with the win… so this could easily turn into one of those emphatic Brady games. But the Saints have had the measure of him more often than not of late, and Taysom Hill may well spring a surprise with the stakes so high for NO.
