New Orleans always has a sense of humor or ridicule when it comes to their yearly Mardi Gras floats. Saints quarterback Derek Carr, head coach Dennis Allen and general manager Mickey Loomis were recently the subject of a Knights of Chaos float in New Orleans.

The No. 10 float was called 'Dead Ball' and depicted a Derek Carr likeness with the gravestone, '2023 Season: Red Zone Zombie' and had '4th Down and 90 Million To Go' off to the side. There were also a lot more details in the float, which you can see below.

Carr obviously saw it and responded via his social media account on Friday afternoon, leading off with two faces with tears emojis and said, "Can't lie...this depicts exactly what I felt like the first half of the season so I understand."

The Saints have talked about how much injuries played into Carr's first season. Dennis Allen even said that it wasn't fair regarding the amount of criticism that he received. At one point, Carr had a back and shoulder injury to go along with being in the concussion protocol. He also recently revealed on a podcast that he "tore the heck out of his shoulder" and had three broken ribs to go along with the back and concussions.
