Former Zim OC Bowl in Carolina?
While Mike Zimmer takes on one of his former offensive coordinators in a battle of 2-2 teams in New Jersey, two more will square off in another battle of 2-2 teams in Carolina. Norv Turner, the Panthers' offensive coordinator, has new starter Kyle Allen humming along at 2-0 after an 0-2 start with Cam Newton. Meanwhile, the visiting offense is led by John DeFilippo, who was fired by Zimmer because he lost track of the edict to run the ball. Now with another run-oriented team, he's apparently seen the light. Last week, Leonard Fournette ran for a career-high 225 yards in a Jaguars win.
Leslie, the Bills head to Tennessee
In Nashville, former Vikings coach and current Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier takes on the Titans with a unit that's tied with the Vikings for fifth in the league in fewest points allowed (15.8). Frazier's defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points in a game. It also held Tom Brady to a 45.9 passer rating in a 16-10 loss last week.
Teddy looking to go 3-0 for saints
He hasn't exactly led the charge, but former Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is looking to go 3-0 in relief of injured Drew Brees as the Saints play host to a Bucs team that KO'd the Rams in L.A. with a franchise-record 55 points last week.
