QB Derek Carr threw for 200 passing yards per game and is completing 82.6% of his passes. He has thrown 3 TDs and 0 INTs to start the season.

Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was able to get 73 receiving yards with three receptions and a touchdown. Defensively, New Orleans has a pair of interceptions, four sacks, and a forced fumble. This defense is facing a better overall offense but they set the foundation to look well.
