Raise your hand if you had the New Orleans Saints beating the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2.

OK, now raise your hand if you had the Saints thrashing the Cowboys in this one.

The Saints didn't just beat Dallas on Sunday afternoon. They flat-out embarrassed them, and quarterback Derek Carr had himself another fantastic outing for the second-straight week. Speaking of Carr, let's try one more: raise your hand if you had Carr scoring a total of six touchdowns through the first two weeks of the season?

He's been on a tear to start the year and these Saints look like a threat, early on. Against the 'Boys, Carr finished with 243 passing yards on just 11 completions (16 attempts) and found the end zone twice through the air. He also added a touchdown on the ground, for his third of the day.

Following that rushing touchdown, Carr was feeling himself. He isn't typically one for flashy touchdown celebrations, but the veteran passer opted to have a little fun after punching it in.

Carr hit us with a signature Michael Jackson move, and Saints fans have got to love it. This is our quarterback. But, he's not just the same-old emotional leader. No, this Derek Carr is having the time of his life.

And you've got to love it. You have got to love this quarterback if you're a Saints fan. There's no other way to say it. Carr is proving this fan base he can, indeed, win them over.

Derek Carr's teammates loved his touchdown celebration

After the game, linebacker Demario Davis was in the locker room spending some time with media when he was told about Carr's celebration. According to ESPN Saints reporter Katherine Terrell, Davis hadn't seen it to that point in time.

Right on queue, Carr was close by and had the video ready to roll on his phone, showing Davis. The linebacker loved it and all of their teammates were roaring with laughter.

So, if we're trying to be up with the times, here, Carr was a total vibe with this one, as the kids say.

The 11th-year pro has been unfairly scrutinized over his first year with the Saints, but these first two games have proven Carr to still be an effective, efficient quarterback when not in such a bland system.

And, he's still proving to have plenty left in the tank.

Carr has the Saints absolutely trucking right now, averaging a whopping 45.5 points per game through the first two weeks. Next week, they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup where we could end up seeing something we wouldn't have predicted a couple weeks ago: a shootout.
