Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints are the hottest team in the NFL. They have scored over 40 points in each of their first two games, and Carr is tied for the league lead in touchdown passes with five. The four-time Pro Bowler also leads the NFL in EPA + CPOE composite score.
It's needless to say that Carr is feeling himself in this Klint Kubiak offense, and it showed after he scored a rushing touchdown in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Carr did his best Michael Jackson impression, doing the king of pop's signature dance move of kicking his leg and grabbing his crotch, to which the NFL fined him over $14,000 an inappropriate gesture.
In a way to mock the ridiculousness of the fine, the Saints decided to have fun during warmups. Over their P.A. system, they were playing some of Michael Jackson's hit songs, including "Billy Jean" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
In honor of Derek Carr's fine-inducing TD celebration last week, the Superdome p.a. system has pumped multiple Michael Jackson tracks during pregame warmups of Eagles-Saints, among them "Billy Jean" & "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."

The Saints are hosting the Eagles and looking for their second straight win over an NFC East opponent. Should New Orleans come away victorious, it would be their first 3-0 start since 2013.
