The Saints were unable to get much of an offense going against the San Francisco 49ers due to a combination of questionable officiating from the referees and questionable coaching decisions by New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen.
An early fumble from Alvin Kamara put the 49ers in good field position. The Saints were able to hold the 49ers to a field goal. A drive-changing pass from Andy Dalton to Chris Olave was reversed and ruled incomplete, and a penalty drove the Saints outside of field goal range.
A pass from Jimmy Garoppolo was tipped by a Saints corner, and the ball falls into the hands of Jauan Jennings for a touchdown.
