Saints QB Derek Carr injures left hand on dive in 4th quarter of win over Giants

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr injured his left hand late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 14-11 victory over the New York Giants when he went airborne while trying for a first down and crashed to the turf. Carr tried to leap over a Giants tackler and landed at the New Orleans 39-yard line, extending his non-throwing hand to break his fall. “A phenomenal effort trying to make a first down,” interim coach Darren Rizzi said of the play that happened with the Saints leading 14-11 and just under four minutes remaining. New York drove to the Saints 12-yard line and defensive tackle Bryan Bresee got a thumb on Graham Gano’s game-tying 35-yard field goal attempt.
