The Saints had a surprisingly tough time against the 1-11 Panthers on Sunday, and things got heated amongst the players.
After Derek Carr took a sack on a critical 3rd and short play, Saints center Erik McCoy decided to let Carr know how he felt.
Oh boy.. the #Saints players are really not happy with QB Derek Carr.

Carr didn’t seem to take the criticism lying down and fired back.
Saints fans even started booing the whole team. Fortunately, things got better from that point on. The score was 14-6 in favor of the Saints when the incident between Carr and McCoy happened.
New Orleans would go on to increase that lead and secure a 28-6 win.
Carr’s performance wasn’t exactly impressive. The former Raider and prized offseason acquisition went 18-26 for 119 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Nonetheless, the Saints will take the win and improve their record to 6-7. As it stands, New Orleans is clinging to very slim playoff hopes as they remain in the hunt for the final Wild Card spot.
