New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller returned to the field in Week 14 against the New York Giants and made his presence felt in a new way.
Miller was back in the fold for the Saints after being activated from his second injured reserve stint, and he showed off his power after running in the Saints’ first touchdown of the day from eight yards out.
Power wasn’t something Miller had shown much of before, but he channeled his inner Taysom Hill by dragging several Giants defenders into the end zone with him.
Miller was expected to have a significant role in the Saints backfield this week against the Giants with Hill placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL last week against the Los Angeles Rams.
The touchdown was Miller’s first of 2024. He had played in two games this season, having rushed for 52 yards on nine carries.
Miller’s only other NFL rushing touchdown came last season against the Atlanta Falcons, a game in which he ran for a career-high 73 yards on 13 carries.
