Alvin Kamara Jokes About Taking Coach Kellen Moore Out in Atlanta if Saints Beat Patriots

New Orleans, LA — Saints star running back Alvin Kamara is known for his electric runs and smooth versatility on the field, but it’s his off-field charisma that has fans buzzing this week.

Ahead of the Saints’ upcoming clash with the New England Patriots, Kamara lightened the mood with a playful jab at his head coach, Kellen Moore.

Speaking to reporters after Thursday’s practice, Kamara was asked about the team’s focus going into the high-stakes Week 6 matchup against a struggling but always-dangerous Patriots squad. While emphasizing the importance of executing and staying disciplined, Kamara couldn’t resist adding a bit of humor.

“If we pull this off, I might take Coach Moore out to some bars or clubs in Atlanta,” Kamara said with a grin. “He needs to loosen up a little bit. Nothing crazy — just a couple of drinks, some good music. He deserves it.”

The comment drew laughs from teammates and media members alike. It’s no secret that Kellen Moore, in his first year as head coach of the Saints, has developed a reputation for being intensely focused and serious — particularly in the heat of the season. Kamara’s joke, however, highlights the growing camaraderie and trust between the veteran running back and his new coach.

Moore, formerly the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys and Chargers, took over the reins in New Orleans amid high expectations. While the Saints have had an up-and-down start to the 2025 season, the offense has shown flashes of explosive potential — thanks in part to Kamara’s leadership and playmaking.

When told about Kamara’s playful comment, Moore chuckled and offered a good-natured response.

“Well, if we beat the Patriots, maybe I’ll let Alvin pick the playlist on the flight home,” Moore said. “We’ll see about the bars in Atlanta.”

The Saints currently sit at 3-2 and are eyeing a critical win against the 1-4 Patriots to stay competitive in the NFC South race. With a strong performance last week and Kamara heating up after returning from early-season injuries, the team appears to be finding its rhythm.

Kamara, now in his ninth season with the Saints, continues to be one of the league’s most dynamic dual-threat backs. His ability to energize both the locker room and the fan base remains unmatched — even if it means teasing his coach into a night out.

Whether or not Moore takes Kamara up on the offer remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: if the Saints win Sunday, the celebrations might extend well beyond the locker room — and maybe even into the nightlife of Atlanta.
