Former Saints kicker Will Lutz suggests fans' boos during Broncos' blowout win weren't directed at him

Will Lutz made his return to New Orleans count. The former Pro Bowl kicker made all four of his field goal attempts to help the Denver Broncos to a 33-10 victory over the Saints on Thursday night.

But Lutz noticed the apparent boos that rained down from the Saints faithful during the game.

After Thursday's game, Lutz took to social media to attack his former coach, Dennis Allen.

“Ehh I think we know who was getting booed outside the building,” Lutz wrote, along with a laughing emoji. “All my love, WhoDatNation.”

Allen, who took over as head coach after Sean Payton briefly left coaching, has faced increased scrutiny this season. At halftime, former Seattle Seahawks defensive back Richard Sherman questioned the Saints players' efforts and suggested they wouldn't mind seeing their coach fired.

“They don't want to tackle. They don't want to play. They're good players. Tyrann Mathieu is a good player. Easiest interception of his life…and he drops it,” Sherman said during the broadcast of Prime Video. .

“I see guys who don't make an effort to get to the ball carrier, to make tackles. I don't understand that. It seems like they want to get their coach fired. That's the effort with which they play.”

After the game, Allen shrugged off any apparent concerns about his job security.

After convincingly winning the first two games of the season, the Saints lost five games in a row. The disappointing past few weeks have likely left once-proud fans frustrated. The latest loss also prompted a mass exodus from Caesars Superdome in the fourth quarter.

Cameras captured one fan with a bag over his head that read “Life After Drew,” while others held signs calling for help.

The message was in reference to the streak of success the franchise has enjoyed with quarterback Drew Brees. The five-time All-Pro retired after the 2020 season, and the Saints have failed to make the playoffs since.

Brees was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame at halftime of Thursday's game.

Lutz signed with New Orleans in 2016 and remained with the franchise through the 2022 season. He was traded to the Broncos in 2023, reuniting him with Payton.

The Saints will travel to California next week to face the Los Angeles Chargers.
