Week 7 at Saints: Joe Brady vs. Sean Payton
Carolina’s new offensive coordinator is the 30-year old Joe Brady, who spent last year at LSU helping Joe Burrow win the Heisman. Prior to that, Brady was an assistant on the Saints’ staff. He’s a bit of a front-runner, but Sean Payton is one of the most brilliant offensive play-callers in the NFL. This game should highlight just how much Brady learned from Payton as well as the differences in their style and philosophies. New Orleans has won six of the last seven matchups between these teams, so Brady has a tall order trying to outscore his old mentor.
