Lots of entry points on this story: “What dat?” columnist Jeff Duncan writes.Coach Dennis Allen and QB Derek Carr needed a game like Sunday's, columnist Rod Walker writes. And of course there was another locker room dance party.Seeking Swifties: Taylor Swift is coming to New Orleans next month, and tourism folks in St. Tammany are hoping they can entice a fan or two to check out the northshore.
