Carr completed 14 of 25 passes for 142 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 15-12 loss versus the Eagles.

The Saints' offense came back down to earth after scoring touchdowns on 11 of their first 21 possessions of the season. This unit was held scoreless until just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, when Carr found wideout Chris Olave open in the left corner of the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown. The veteran signal-caller then committed the game-sealing mistake on his team's subsequent offensive series, throwing a deep pass while under pressure that resulted in an interception by Eagles safety Reed Blankenship. Carr looked like a renewed player after tossing five touchdowns over the first two weeks of the season, as he spread the ball around to the Saints' talented group of offensive skill players. However, he only found success while targeting Olave and running back Alvin Kamara in Week 3, as he went 5-for-16 on passes to the rest of the team. Carr also came up empty on all five of his passes to deep-threat Rashid Shaheed, who was a crucial part of New Orleans' offense in the first two games, while Taysom Hill was also sidelined with a bruised lung that he sustained during last week's win against Dallas. Carr and the Saints' offense will look to correct things when they next play Sunday, Sept. 29 versus the division-rival Falcons.
