Derek Carr Throws TD Pass In Loss
3 mins agoDespite recording his most passing attempts and second-highest completion total of the season, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr finished with a mediocre line in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams. Carr went 24-for-37 for 184 yards (his third-lowest total of 2024) with one touchdown. The touchdown went to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, their fourth connection for a score in the Saints' last three games. Once again, the duo linked up on a deep shot, with Carr hitting his man from 28 yards out. Despite the Rams' vulnerability against deep passes, most of Carr's attempts were quick crosses and outs for short gains, his touchdown pass being the only completion of four attempts to clear 20-plus air yards. The Saints face the Giants in Week 14, though it will be tough to trust Carr as a bounceback candidate. New York has held opposing quarterbacks to 213.3 passing yards per game this year and has allowed just 12 passing touchdowns.
