The costliest loss was the Saints’ 23-22 defeat in Charlotte on Sunday when Carr couldn’t lead his team into field-goal range in the final minute and the Saints left town with the same 2-7 record as the Panthers, a team that’s statistically dreadful and historically bad.

Dennis Allen was fired as head coach of the New Orleans Saints on Monday following the team's seventh consecutive loss. Allen was 18-25 with the Saints, who won their first two games this season in dominant fashion over the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys before their current nosedive began.

If Allen created a legacy in New Orleans, however, it won’t be one that’s fondly remembered.
