Martin totaled 66 yards and scored a touchdown on 23 rushes while also hauling in both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-11 win over the Saints.
Despite the return of Charles Sims from injured reserve and talk throughout the week of getting Jacquizz Rodgers more involved in the offense, Martin was once again the clear lead back Sunday. He responded by scoring a touchdown for the second straight week, a twisting one-yard score in the second quarter that was his third on the season overall. The fifth-year pro also encouragingly recorded a catch for double-digit yardage for the second straight week, and fourth time in the last five games overall. The 23 carries also equaled Martin's second-highest figure in that category this season, particularly notable given that he, Sims and Rodgers were all active. Martin will draw a tough matchup against the Cowboys' stingy run defense in a Week 15 Sunday night battle.
