NFL Hands Down Harsh Punishment For New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr

Over his first two games, the former Las Vegas Raider has a 76.9 completion percentage, 443 passing yards, five touchdowns and one interception. The Saints are one of nine undefeated teams entering Week 3.

New Orleans signed Carr to a four-year deal worth $150 million in 2023 free agency following his release from the Las Vegas Raiders. Carr had a frustrating first year in New Orleans, throwing for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Saints finished 9-8 and missed out on the NFC South division crown via tiebreaker to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That prompted head coach Dennis Allen to fire longtime offense coordinator Pete Carmichael and replace him with Klint Kubiak, who’s already playing his way toward an NFL head coaching position.

Derek Carr & Saints Host The Eagles In Week 3

The Saints will try and make it 3-0 on the season when they host Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philly is coming off a stunning home loss to Kirk Cousins’ Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football”, so it’ll be interesting to see how Nick Sirianni’s group responds against a surprising New Orleans team.
