The first two weeks of the NFL season have not necessarily been what New Orleans Saints fans hoped it would be. The team is ranked No. 18 in terms of passing yardage and No. 17 in total yardage on the offensive side. Not the start many expected with Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave all added to Jameis Winstons’ receiving arsenal. But despite the slow start on the offensive side early in the season, Saints head coach Dennis Allen isn’t adding to the concerns. It’s early, but he’s already proven he was the right pick for the job.
While any head coach in his first year with a team would love to start 2-0, the Saints’ 1-1 start isn’t causing a panic in New Orleans. Part of that calm and cool response is led by Allen. He showed magnificent composure in the opening week against the Atlanta Falcons, leading the way to the largest comeback in the franchise’s 55-year history. Yes, he did that. The Saints marched back after going down by 16 points against the Falcons with Allen and Winston at the helm, making up that ground in the fourth quarter.
