The San Francisco 49ers have won 11 times this season, but are coming off their biggest and most important victory of the season. San Francisco, a team that usually wins with defense and a run-first offensive attack, was able to go into the raucous Mercedes-Benz Superdome and beat the NFC-contending New Orleans Saints in a shootout. The 49ers earned everyone’s respect.
On this week’s episode of Stacking the Box, FanSided‘s Matt Verderame and Josh Hill, along with former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, explain why winning on the road against the Saints in this manner was so, so important for the 49ers in their Super Bowl LIV push (23:21).
