Derek Carr's debut went swimmingly for the New Orleans Saints in a 26-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday as the first week of the 2023 NFL preseason hit its final stretch. The San Francisco 49ers conclude the opening week of action when they play at the Las Vegas Raiders.
In other preseason games on Saturday, the Panthers struggled in the first appearance of the Bryce Young era, with the Jets securing a 27-0 road victory. The Bears got off to a fast start thanks to a pair of scoring drives engineered by Justin Fields, ultimately prevailing 23-17 over the Titans.
