In Sunday’s loss to the Panthers, Saints quarterback Derek Carr did something no quarterback has ever done before. It was his 31st loss against another team.
Carr was one of 10 players in NFL history to lose to 30 teams, and the Panthers were one of only two teams to go undefeated. He is now the first defenseman to score 31 points.
The only team Carr has yet to beat is the Raiders. It is also the only team he has never played against for most of his career. The Saints play the Raiders in Week 17. That means Carr has a chance to make this a great team 32 teams has beaten him.
Carr’s overall career record as a starting quarterback is 74-91 in the regular season and 0-1 in the postseason.
The nine quarterbacks who have lost to 30 different teams are Drew Bledsoe, Brett Favre, John Kitna, Drew Brees, Carson Palmer, Matt Hasselbeck, Alex Smith, Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan.
No NFL quarterback has ever lost to all 32 franchises, but four quarterbacks in NFL history (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Drew Brees) have won all 32 games.
