Call Dennis Allen the mechanic because he dismantled the Carr on Sunday. The New Orleans Saints head coach called a defense that blanked what had been a high-octane Las Vegas Raiders offense in convincing fashion.
And the 24-0 final score doesn’t tell you just how thorough the shellacking truly was.
New Orleans (3-5 overall) is known as The Big Easy and the Saints lived up to the namesake by easily handling the sleep-walking Raiders (2-5). Dennis Allen’s football team easily handled the trenches on defense and offense.
Las Vegas’ two victories on the season showcased control of the line of scrimmage.
