The New Orleans Saints haven’t played the Kansas City Chiefs much in their history. The two teams have faced off only 12 times over the last 52 years. Saints’ quarterback Derek Carr on the other hand is extremely familiar with the Chiefs.
Familiarity isn’t always a good thing though. Carr began his career with the Las Vegas Raiders, so he shared a division with Kansas City and played them twice a year. In that time frame, he has played the Chiefs more than the Saints have in their history.
The thing is, Carr has had minimal success. His record is 3-14, and the victories have obviously been sporadic. His last victory came in 2020, and it’s the only time Carr has defeated Patrick Mahomes.
Beyond wins and losses, Carr also averages an interception per contest and has thrown at least one in 7 of the last 8 games. Carr has thrown an interception in each of the Saints’ last 3 games as well.
History and trends do not appear to be on New Orleans’ side. The Saints, as an organization, have a losing record against the Chiefs as well. The record is much closer at 7-5, but it features three straight Chiefs victories.
