Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore are each one win away from each other in the Super Bowl.

They may also be up against each other when it comes to the New Orleans Saints head coaching job.

NFL Network Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the NFC South team wants to interview Brady and Moore a second time. Other interviews would be personal for the team, which Rapoport also noted is interested in former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

New Orleans was seen as a potential landing spot for McCarthy after the Chicago Bears went in a different direction with Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson, but Moore and Brady are the ones generating the headlines at the moment.

The Saints are familiar with Brady, as he was the team's offensive assistant for two years in 2017 and 2018. Since then, he has been the game coordinator for the 2019 national champion LSU Tigers, OC for the Carolina Panthers (2020 and 21), quarterbacks coach for the Bills (2022 and 2023) and OK in Buffalo (2024).

That means he's worked with Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, among other quarterbacks, and someone could help the Saints bounce back from 24th in the league in points per game in 2024.

As for Moore, he also brings an offensive background to the table and could help revitalize that side of the ball.

He was the OC for the Cowboys for four seasons from 2019-22 before holding the same position with the Los Angeles Chargers last season and the Eagles this season.

Moore's offenses have finished among the top seven in the league in scoring in four of his six campaigns as offensive coordinator, including this year in Philadelphia. Working with weapons like Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts helps, but the production has been consistent on multiple stops.

As for Brady, his Bills were second in the league in scoring this season.

Either would be considered a boost for a struggling offense, which is surely why they're in line for a second interview in New Orleans.
