New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller has been limited for much of the season with injuries, but the TCU product showed up strong for Sunday's regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

With Alvin Kamara missing the game with an ankle injury, Miller saw significant action early during Sunday's critical game in the NFC South.

Miller has always had good speed, but he also showed off some power on a run for his first career touchdown.

With 11:09 left in the first half, Miller took the handoff and worked three yards off the left side for 3 yards and a touchdown.

He was ruled down at the 1 initially, but a quick review by officials in the league office switched the ruling to a touchdown.

Six different Falcons had their hands on Miller, but his reach across the goal line produced the first score of his career.
