The New Orleans Saints‘ great start to the season was confirmed with an important 44-16 win over Dak Prescott’s Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL. One of the protagonists of the victory was quarterback Derek Carr, who made strong statements about the team’s current situation.
A 2-0 start with 91 cumulative points is something that resonates loudly with the rest of the league. It’s even the most in the first two games of a season since the 2009 Saints scored 93 points. It’s a dream for the team led on the field by Carr.
“You see the stats, you see the numbers out there for the whole offense, and it’s cool,” reacted Carr, who continues to sentence with a surprising sentence. “At the same time, it doesn’t mean anything this week,” the Saints quarterback explained.
Despite his emotional grounding in his views of the current campaign, Carr was appreciative of the high-scoring victory over Dak Prescott‘s Dallas Cowboys. “It’s hard to score that many times in this league,” said the Saints quarterback. At the end of the day, a big win against the NFL’s most valuable player is something worth noting.
