Saints' Latavius Murray: Scores twice in monster effort

Murray carried 27 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Bears. He also caught five of six targets for 31 yards in the 36-25 win.

Making his first start of the season, Murray posted a new career high in carries as he ground out 4.4 yards per tote against a strong Chicago defense. He scored short touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters while rounding out his monster effort with an effective showing as a pass-catcher. Starter Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) has been dealing with multiple issues of late, and in light of Murray's performance -- as well as the upcoming matchup against a poor Cardinals defense -- he could be in line for another hefty workload next Sunday.
