The New Orleans Saints were faced with a fourth and one in the fourth quarter at their own 46. Dennis Allen tried to draw the Panthers offsides. When it didn’t work, the Saints took the delay of game to give Matthew Hayball more space for the kick.

James Hurst retired this offseason, but he saw the separation between Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints locker room last year. He even went as far as to say some players wondered if Mickey Loomis would fire Allen at the end of the 2023 season.

In the wake of the move, Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football published a story about everything that went wrong during the Allen's tenure, painting a picture of a coach in an impossible situation whose every move seemed to backfire. Even when things worked, it was just a seemingly short time until they stopped working.
