Bill Belichick and Peyton Manning Couldn't Get Over Derek Carr's Awful Interception

Derek Carr decides to see how far he can throw the ball while fading away. | ESPN

The New Orleans Saints received the opening kickoff from the Kansas City Chiefs in their Week 5 Monday Night Football matchup. The Saints wasted no time moving into KC territory before quarterback Derek Carr threw what can only be defined as a YOLO interception by heaving the ball downfield as he faded away off his back foot.

Carr faced pressure on first-and-10 from the Chiefs' 39-yard line and threw the ball high in the sky in the vicinity of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who was in double coverage. Safety Bryan Cook made a spectacular one-handed interception, but he never should have had a chance because the ball should have been thrown out of bounds.
