Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints didn't get off to a great start on Sunday afternoon. In an NFC South matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Carr, who has struggled at points this season, threw an interception in the red zone.
Instead of throwing into the arms of one of his teammates, Carr threw the pass right to the Falcons' safety Jessie Bates III. The safety returned the ball 92 yards down the field for a touchdown.
Carr faced the Atlanta Falcons twice when he played for the Las Vegas Raiders and has yet to get a victory. Now playing in the same division as Atlanta, he has been looking to do just that. His chances of doing so appeared to be a longshot early in Sunday's game.
Fans on social media took digs at the New Orleans Saints quarterback. Most fans mentioned the New Orleans Saints quarterback's lucrative contract, which he signed during the offseason.
Below are some of the comments about Carr's performance on Sunday afternoon:
