Dennis Allen could have improved to 10-10 as the New Orleans Saints head coach on Sunday. Instead, well, he didn’t. His team let too many opportunities get away from them in a really tough loss to the Green Bay Packers (one of those being that this Packers team was missing four starters on offense and their best defender). Allen will have to wait a while longer to improve to .500 — if he can get there at all.
The major story focuses on Derek Carr. He was playing well enough prior to his injury, hitting his receivers in stride and in some tight windows.
