Despite the New Orleans Saints literally getting ready to play the Las Vegas Raiders, a monumental trade materialized just ahead of kickoff.

The Buffalo Bills called about Saints' running back Alvin Kamara because the Bills are in the market for a running back and Kamara hasn't looked as dominant as he once was, according to Jay Glazer of Fox NFL Sunday.

Kamara, heading into Sunday's game ran for 351 yards and no touchdowns. However, at the end of the first quarter, he notched his first touchdown score of the season.

He's averaging 4.6 yards per carry, which is good enough for 26th in the NFL. And it appears that New Orleans and Kamara are heading in different directions.

As Tuesday's trade deadline looms, the Bills' pursuit for a running back appears as though it will involve New Orleans' long-standing star.

According to a recent report, New Orleans is more than willing to trade Kamara if the right deal surfaces.

Until then, all anyone can really do is sit back and see how everything plays out.
