Have you ever heard the phrase “defense wins championships”? This is a motto for the San Francisco 49ers, who currently hold the spot as the NFL’s best defense, and the New Orleans Saints, who are also an NFL top-ten defense.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the New Orleans Saints will welcome the San Francisco 49ers into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
This is already a matchup that will feature two of the NFL’s best teams and two of the top five in the NFC. The 49ers lost a heartbreaking game to the Baltimore Ravens on a game-winning field goal and dropped from the NFC top spot to 5th in playoff rankings.
