Lip readers believe they’ve detected a ruthless message from New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr to Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn during Sunday’s blowout win at the Caesars Superdome.
Derek Carr and the Saints made easy work of their NFC South rivals, cruising to a 47-10 victory in the season opener. Carr had one of his best performances as a Saint, completing all but four of his 23 pass attempts for 200 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
Cameras caught Carr and Horn exchanging words in the waning seconds of the third quarter, with the Saints up by 27. Lip readers on social media believe Carr told Horn, “What are you talking about? I got three touchdowns on you.”

There weren’t many bright spots for the #Panthers this week but Jaycee Horn had a nice day against Olave for the most part… Nice run fit here against Shaheed pic.twitter.com/eS7xC0LrBP

Horn has been one of football’s best shutdown corners since entering the league in 2021. Unfortunately, injuries limited the South Carolina product to 22 total games over his first three seasons, including nine games combined in 2021 and 2023.
