Flashback Friday: New Orleans Saints beat 49ers by field goal

Week 11 rolled around and the New Orleans Saints were 7-2 heading into the week against the San Francisco 49ers.

That season they had already beat the Flacons, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Dolphins, Bears, Bills, and Cowboys; and their only losses were to the Patriots and the Jets. They ended that season 11-5 and made the playoffs.

However, week 11 proved to be probably the best game of that week and of that season. The first quarter started and the 49ers and Saints exchanged back to back punting drives for each team — all but one of them being a three and out.
