The build-up to this electrifying game had a ‘Rocky lll ” Clubber Lang (Mr. T) vs Rocky Balboa feel to it, and boy did it live up to it’s billing and then some. Let’s just say the New Orleans Saints brought the heat, but it just wasn’t enough.
Both teams would exchange knock out blows the entire match, but in the end, it would be the San Francisco 49ers who would emerge from the canvas first.
From the start of this matchup, the scene was electric.
The New Orleans Saints (10-2) kick returner Deonte Harris took the opening kick off 51 yards, setting up Saints quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints elite offense as they marched straight downfield on a nine-play, 73-yard drive.
