NEW ORLEANS — The Saints had the game against the Packers fairly well in hand with a 17-0 lead, an offensive touchdown, a special teams touchdown, a field goal and a defense that had pitched a shutout. Then Derek Carr went down, the offense completely stopped until the final drive and the defense committed two back-to-back pass interference plays.
