New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has a chance to make history on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, accomplishing something only four players at his position have done. Carr has an opportunity to become the fifth quarterback in NFL history to pass for at least two touchdowns and maintain a passer rating of 100-plus in seven consecutive games.
It’s a feat that would place him within elite company. And it’s something his legendary predecessor Drew Brees never achieved throughout an illustrious career worthy of the Hall of Fame.
The only other players to have accomplished this in their careers are Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. Many would argue that these four players are regarded as the greatest players to ever take a snap under center. Carr reaching this milestone doesn’t tell the whole story of his career, but it would definitely depict the tremendous improvement he’s made dating back to the end of last season.
Since Week 15 of the 2023 season, Carr is first in the NFL in passing touchdowns, passer rating and completion percentage, and is looking to continue this impressive streak this Sunday.
