Ingram’s touchdown, coming with 2:38 remaining in the first half, marked the first score of the Week 9 battle.

Watch a GIF of the play below:

The Saints drafted Ingram in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft after a decorated career at Alabama that included winning the 2009 Heisman trophy.

Entering tonight’s game, Ingram had rushed for 331 yards and four touchdowns on 58 attempts this season. Ingram had his best game of the season last week against the Green Bay Packers, rushing for 172 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.

Ingram’s Saints, as well as the Panthers, entered Thursday’s game at 3-4. With the NFC South wide open this year, a victory for either team would be huge for their chances of winning the division.
