The New Orleans Saints ended a three-game losing streak with a 34-27 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, according to WVUE reported by wafb.com. The Saints overcame an early 10-point deficit, scoring 34 unanswered points before the Giants rallied late in the game.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara achieved a career milestone during the third quarter with a 31-yard touchdown reception, reaching 5,000 yards both receiving and rushing in his career. Kamara is only the sixth player to reach this exclusive achievement, with San Francisco 49ers' Christian McCaffrey being the only other active player in this club, wafb.com noted.

Saints quarterback Tyler Shough threw three touchdown passes and ran for another despite playing with two broken bones in his left hand, as reported by wafb.com. His final touchdown pass was an 18-yard completion to Chris Olave with over 11 minutes remaining.

The Saints tied the game in the first half with a last-second 2-yard touchdown pass from Shough to rookie Bryce Lance. The Saints immediately flew to France after the game to prepare for their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which will be the NFL's first game held in Paris, wafb.com added.
