New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller had a big day subbing for the injured Alvin Kamara. Miller rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry in the regular season finale. The TCU product did a good day rushing and in pass protection.

Before today's game, Miller had 28 carries for 83 yards and no touchdowns while having seven game appearances. Also, he had nine catches for 111 receiving yards before the Atlanta game.

Running back Jamaal Williams scored his first and only rushing touchdown of the year.

New Orleans ends the season at 9-8 in Dennis Allen's second season as the team's head football coach.

The New Orleans team lost its chance to win the NFC South division after the Tampa Bay team beat Carolina by 9-0.   

The Saints are praying for miracle wins from the Arizona Cardinals over the Seattle Seahawks, and Chicago Bears over the Green Bay Packers.

New Orleans are currently leading Atlanta 41-17 in the 4th quarter.
