Carr came out of the gates firing by connecting with wide receiver Rashid Shaheed for a 59-yard touchdown on the New Orleans Saints’ first possession of the game. That was also the first touchdown of the day, and Carr did a great job of stepping up in the pocket while making a beautiful throw down the field with pressure.
