New Orleans Saints har nu tabt tre kampe i træk. Heldigvis møder de i den kommende uge NFLs dårligeste mandskab i Carolina Panthers. Men efter nederlag til Vikings, Falcons og Lions, hvor placerer det så Saints i denne uges power rankings?
NFL #22 (#17)
It seems clear Saints fans haven’t quite warmed up to QB Derek Carr yet, and Sunday was a fascinating case study of that relationship. Carr started slowly, and though his interception went off the hands of Juwan Johnson, Saints fans booed Carr anyway. Then he got hot, hitting 15 straight passes beginning in the second quarter, helping cut a 24-7 deficit to 24-21 during a third-quarter flurry. But when Carr lost a fumble on a poor center exchange, the fans booed more. He left the game a few minutes later with injuries, and Jameis Winston gave the Saints a chance to win it late, but quarterbacking wasn’t the only factor here. The Saints’ defense, once the team’s unquestioned strength, now is a question mark, as the Lions flexed their muscles often against that group.

Granderson won the starting job in camp and has played in all 12 games while matching last season’s sack total (5.5). He also set a career high in QB hits (12) and leads the team in sacks in a year in which it hasn’t been able to get much from its pass rush. Receiver Rashid Shaheed was also a candidate here, with several game-changing plays in his second season with the team.

Losing to the Lions was tough enough, but Derek Carr got hurt as well. They just haven’t looked right this season.
