New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has tied one the most unfortunate records a signal-caller can have as of Sunday afternoon, in addition to the fact he has now been defeated by 31 different teams.

That's not precisely the return he wanted after missing several weeks due to injury, and there were several Saints fans were hoping that Carr's return would instill some new life into the offense. Instead, Carr just tied former Saints quarterback Archie Manning's to hold one of the NFL's most unfortunate records.

Over 11 seasons, Manning lost a total of 91 games. Carr has officially matched that exact number. His brother, David Carr, is also high on the list in terms of losses as a starting quarterback. Here's a look at the full breakdown of all of that:

  • 4 seasons: David Carr (43)

  • 5 seasons: David Carr (53)

  • 6 seasons: David Carr (56)

  • 7 seasons: Derek Carr (63)

  • 8 seasons: Derek Carr (70)

  • 9 seasons: Derek Carr (79)

  • 10 seasons: Derek Carr (87)

  • 11 seasons: Derek Carr and Archie Manning (91)

While it was technically a close game, not a lot went incredibly right for the Saints as they faced one of the worst teams in the NFL in the Carolina Panthers, still managing to fall 23-22 while being a slight favorite.

Carr finished the game 18-for-31 passing for 236 yards with 1 touchdown. His injury did hinder the Saints, but it is apparent there are far more things wrong with the team than just injured players and it's reasonable to expect there will be a large amount of turnover when the season concludes.

With that, the Saints are now on a seven-game losing streak. They will face a tough task in snapping that with the risk of getting swept in the series by the Atlanta Falcons in New Orleans next Sunday.

For now, the Saints simply have a lot of thinking to do.
