“Let’s run this sh-t again, Kellen.” That’s what Nick Sirianni told Kellen Moore fresh off the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win. But Moore? He was already three steps ahead, scribbling down new plays for his next gig. Running it back in Philly wasn’t in the cards. Instead, he crossed off the Eagles from his checklist with a Lombardi in hand and set his sights on a new challenge: New Orleans.
Or, as Terry Bradshaw said, the franchise most influenced by voodoo.
Bradshaw wasn’t wrong—New Orleans has seen its fair share of strange football luck. From Bountygate to last-second heartbreaks, the Saints have lived on the NFL’s rollercoaster. And in true NOLA fashion, their latest storyline involves a little “football magic.” Bradshaw was talking giberish when he said that players, including Derek Carr, might’ve taken a sip of some voodoo potion in hopes of turning things around. Whether that potion works remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Moore isn’t questioning his QB.
“Derek’s a tremendous quarterback in this league. He’s a starter in this league. He’s a premier player in this league. Really excited to team up with him and go through this process,” Moore said. Translation? Carr’s not going anywhere. And if Moore’s track record with quarterbacks means anything, the Saints are betting on this pairing to deliver more than just a few good Sundays.
