Yes, I know it’s only preseason, but Sunday was a very assuring day for New Orleans Saints fans. My biggest takeaways from the Saints’ 26-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs were: (1) They scored on the opening possession, going up against the Chiefs’ starting defense, and (2) They showed.
When Derek Carr finished putting on his uniform before his preseason debut with the New Orleans Saints, he couldn’t help but be struck by the sight of himself in black and gold, instead of the Raiders’ silver and black he had worn for all of his previous nine NFL seasons. “It may look weird, but it felt right,” said Carr, the Saints’ top free-agent acquisition. “I just feel refreshed. I feel rejuvenated. And to put that uniform on and come out and be a Saint, it felt really good.” Carr threw a touchdown pass on his opening series and rookie Blake Grupe, who graduated from Sedalia Smith-Cotton High School, kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Saints to a 26-24 victory Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in the opening exhibition game for both clubs.
