The Carolina Panthers got a week off in Week 11 to rest up from winning a game in Germany. Let’s look at what happened around the league while they were enjoying their time away.
NFC South
The Saints are kind of back
The Saints fired their head coach Dennis Allen after a defeat to the Panthers in which they did their opposition a lot of favors. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi took over as the head guy and rizzed the boys up to a 2-0 start to his tenure. The notched home wins against the Falcons and Browns, which wouldn’t be something to brag about if it weren’t such a drastic improvement over what they were doing before.
