New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore received a surprise in the locker room following the team's 26-14 win over the New York Giants. Veteran star running back Alvin Kamara gave the first-year coach a game ball for his first victory as the head man in the NFL.
"Kellen Moore got his first win as a Saints' head coach," Kamara said before smiling, while palming the ball.
He then embraced Moore with a hug and handed the ball to him before linebacker Demario Davis jumped over to embrace him as well. Moore held the ball up to give the team one more message.
"Appreciate you guys," he said. "Love you guys. Hey, this hasn't been the easiest month. Your resiliency has shown up each and every week, OK? We've got one [win]. Now, we carry the momentum and start stacking these and let's get ready to roll."

Other Saints who got shoutouts in the locker room celebration included Cam Jordan, Davis, Jonas Sanker, Bryan Breese, Jordan Howden, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Taysom Hill, Rashid Shaheed and Spencer Rattler.
McKinstry and Rattler got the other two game balls.
Moore, 37, is the youngest coach in the NFL and the youngest coach in Saints' history. He was hired on Feb. 11, hours after calling his final game as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
