In just his third game with the New Orleans Saints this season, running back Mark Ingram has now reached one historic milestone.
Ingram came into the Saints' Week 10 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans with 6,077 rushing yards over his career with New Orleans. He recorded a notable 6,007 rushing yards in his first run with the Saints and 70 rushing yards in two games played with them this season.
For over a decade, longtime running back Deuce McAllister held the record for the most rushing yards in Saints team history with an astounding 6,096 rushing yards. But now, Ingram holds the top spot in this statistical leaderboard.
Over the third quarter of New Orleans' clash with the Titans, Ingram surpassed McAllister’s rushing yards total with the Saints to break this historic team record. The veteran running back made sure to keep the football after reaching this feat.

Ingram continues to showcase that he still has plenty left in the tank at this point in his career.
