Defense be damned, anyone who watched the 49ers’ thrilling, 48-46 victory over the Saints Sunday can probably agree on one thing: this was one for the ages.
The two teams treated viewers to nearly 100 points and 1,000 yards in what can only be called an instant classic as the 49ers seized (at least temporarily) the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
Many folks, including LeBron James, took to Twitter to give their stamp of approval on the game that ended on Robbie Gould’s game-winning field goal and featured 94 points on 11 touchdowns — nine passing — and 981 yards.
