The New Orleans Saints have fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. along with senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell and receivers coach Kodi Burns. “These types of decisions are never easy to come to, but are necessary as we move forward,” Saints coach Dennis Allen, who oversees New Orleans' defense, said in an announcement made Tuesday.

Saints coach Dennis Allen expects to keep his job after New Orleans improved by two victories, finished with a winning record and missed the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. The Saints were a model of inconsistency. After starting 2-0, they sputtered, losing seven of 10 games — a stint during which quarterback Derek Carr, the team's marquee offseason acquisition, got beat up and booed.

Victory formation hits different now — just like the Atlanta Falcons defenders undoubtedly will next time they face the New Orleans Saints. Defying his coaches' call for a couple of kneel-downs near the goal line following an interception with about a minute to go and the Saints up by 24 points, Winston put it to a vote, then handed the football to running back Jamaal Williams, who hadn't reached the end zone since joining the team as a free agent in the offseason after rushing...

Derek Carr passed for four touchdowns to lift the New Orleans Saints over the Atlanta Falcons 48-17 Sunday.

New Orleans' last hope for an NFC wild-card spot evaporated when Green Bay beat Chicago later Sunday.

The Falcons entered their game against the Saints with an outside chance to win the dismal NFC South but were outscored 31-0 after halftime, losing 48-17 to wind up 7-10 for the third time in Smith’s three-year tenure. Everything went wrong for Atlanta from the first series of the third quarter.

Saints coach Dennis Allen is taking a nuanced view of his players' decision to disobey coaches' orders and hand the ball off to Jamaal Williams for a 1-yard touchdown run in the final minute of a season-ending 48-17 victory over Atlanta. With a night to digest what happened, Allen stuck by comments he made immediately after Sunday's game that players were wrong to overrule coaches. “Those players went out and played their tail off in the last five games of the season &#x2...

Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for New Orleans' regular-season finale on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Meanwhile, Atlanta ruled out quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who'd recently taken over as starter but injured his ankle last week and had been listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week. Kamara, who injured his ankle during the Saints' victory in Tampa Bay last week, did not practice this week but had been listed as questionable...
