The New Orleans Saints have made a significant change by firing head coach Dennis Allen, as general manager Mickey Loomis expressed support for him until the end. Despite a promising 2-0 start, the team's performance quickly deteriorated, culminating in a sixth consecutive loss against the Carolina Panthers.

With quarterback Derek Carr returning from injury, the Saints hope to salvage the season under interim coach Darren Rizzi. However, looming questions about Carr's future and the team's direction remain, especially with an aging roster and salary cap challenges.
