The New Orleans Saints running back by platoon continued in Week 11 with Pierre Thomas leading the rushing game with 11 carries for 49 yards. The Saints halfbacks produced 90 yards rushing collectively and did not find the end zone. Thomas would add five receptions for 35 yards. After having an outstanding game against a porous Dallas defense, Mark Ingram rushed six times for 25 yards. Darren Sproles was essentially a non-factor with three rushes for 16 yards and four receptions for 19 yards. Strangely, it was the fullback Jed Collins that had the only rushing score with a 2-yard run.
