Derek Carr reacts to the loss in Kansas City and injury status

After reportedly suffering an oblique injury, Derek Carr was unable to finish the game in Kansas City. The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Saints 26-13.

Carr finished the game with 165 passing yards and two touchdowns. However, he also had a costly interception on the Saints' first drive in Chiefs territory.

Here's what he had to say after the game.

Can you describe how you're feeling

Derek: not good uh but you know we'll get a MRI and all that kind of stuff tomorrow and figure it out but for me not to be out there with my guys no matter the situation it's it takes something…..I just couldn't go back I couldn't do what I needed to do in the simplest form and so I asked if there was anything we could do about it and there was not enough time to be able to do that and so I would have done anything to stay out there and keep fighting but I just I couldn't so it sucks.

Did you get hit on your last drive?

Derek: It wasn't even the hit honestly, just when I dropped back and torqued to throw the ball…that's when I that's when I felt it.

On the team’s performance

Derek: We didn't execute early and yeah we fought back you know….started playing better and all those kind of things but against a team like this you got to be on it from the get-go and so we were not on it…and that's what happens you know you get down to a team like that it's hard with the pressures and the different coverages and all that kind of stuff…it makes it really hard so, felt confident and comfortable in what we were doing schematically but they just beat us.
