New Orleans Saints' Mark Ingram in rare company after performance vs. Dallas Cowboys

Mark Ingram was only a few months old the last time the New Orleans Saints rushed for 242 yards as a team. He also was still in college at Alabama when Chris Ivory ran for 158 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2010.

In other words, big rushing games aren't the norm in New Orleans.

For a team like the Saints, which generates most of its offense through the air, 300-yard passing games have become commonplace. But for Saints running backs, games like Sunday night are rare.

The third-year player registered his first 100-yard game Sunday night in the 49-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys, racking up 145 yards and a touchdown. The Saints went an NFL-worst 22 games without a 100-yard rusher. And Ingram waited even longer.
