by For at least a few weeks, the saints seemed the best team in football
Our countdown to the season opener of the New Orleans Saints’ 2025 is on day 59, which means that this 59-Yard Yard Touchdown pass Van Derek Carr to Rashid Shaheed is our choice for the Saints Play of the Day. You can see it here yourself.
This was the opening score of the saints of the 2024 season. They started a hot start against the Carolina Panthers-Carr took the Snap out of the rifle on 3rd and 4, investigated the field and were under pressure to find Shaheed around the 14-yard line of the Panthers. The recipient caught the ball and stumbled untouched in the end zone, pushed ahead for a score.
And it wasn’t even close after Shaheed set the tone. New Orleans scored 30 unanswered points before the Panthers arrived on the board with a field goal to close the first half; The saints stacked himself at 379 meters from attack to win the afternoon 47-10. The passing game was efficient (CARR completed 19 of 23 passes for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns and only took one bag), while the hasty attack fulfilled much of the promise that it had built up during the low season and had built 180 yards and 2 touchdowns of 37 attempts.
It is a pity that the saints could not let this momentum go as soon as injuries have achieved the team, but they played as the best team in the competition for a few weeks.
