Former New Orleans Saints star Michael Thomas torched quarterback Derek Carr on Sunday as the team played the Carolina Panthers looking to snap a six-game losing streak.
One of Carr’s passes in the first quarter sailed over the head of wide receiver Chris Olave. But it was Olave who paid the price. The wide receiver was smashed in between two Panthers defenders and went down to the ground. He left the game with a concussion.

The Saints jumped out to a 2-0 start after wins over the Panthers and Dallas Cowboys. But injures forced New Orleans to slow down, and they found themselves on a six-game losing streak.
Carr’s game on Sunday was the first he’s played in since Oct. 7 when he left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Olave was also playing in his second game since he suffered a concussion against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
