The New Orleans Saints are looking for redemption against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. The Saints found themselves severely outgunned and outmanned in their Thursday night loss to the Falcons two weeks ago.

However, they now have the other half of their dynamic backfield,rookie phenom running back Alvin Kamara, ready to go. Kamara discussed how frustrating it was to watch his team lose on primetime after he left with a concussion; however, he is excited to be back in front of his home crowd this Sunday, according to ESPN's Mike Triplett:

“Annoying. Annoying, really. That’s all I can say,” Kamara said.  “Of course I wanted to play, but we’ve got another one [this Sunday in the Superdome]. So I’ll be able to play in this one.”

Kamara was knocked out of the game with a concussion on the opening drive in their first matchup with the Falcons. Up to that point, he had already received three touches for 31 yards. Following his departure, New Orleans had its fair share of struggles before ultimately losing a 20-17 nailbiter.

Fortunately, the “lightning” to running back Mark Ingram's “thunder” is now back in the mix for the Saints. Needless to say, the timing is crucial with the current three-team race going on in the NFC South.
