INT FOR NO. 6 🔥 @AyoCook_6 pic.twitter.com/kdP96T4Mhz
— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) October 8, 2024
Derek Carr threw an interception on the New Orleans Saints’ opening drive. That makes the first time the Saints haven’t scored on their first drive of the game this season.
While one streak breaks, another is extended. Carr extends his streak of games with an interception to four in a row. It was an ugly interception at that. The pass was intended for Rashid Shaheed and is a great showcase of how Carr reacts under pressure.
A Chiefs defender entered in the backfield and Carr was clearly antsy from the mere presence of a red jersey. Alvin Kamara did a good job stopping George Karlaftis. But Carr was already nervous.
Carr never stopped fading backwards and threw off his back foot. The pass lofted in the air. Shaheed had no chance at this pass. It was a rushed decision that appeared heavily influenced by fear. The idea of pressure left Carr scared, so he rushed to get rid of it.
The result was an interception and no points on the board.
