The score marked the 1,000th touchdown scored in the Superdome in Saints history. For Kamara, it was his 87th career touchdown, tying him with Pro Football Hall of Famer Lance Alworth for 53rd place on the NFL’s all-time list.
Kamara finished with 11 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for 12 yards.
Arizona’s defense limited New Orleans’ run game and forced quarterback Spencer Rattler to attempt a career-high 46 passes in Kellen Moore’s debut as Saints head coach.
The Saints, now 0-1, will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2.
