Fred Warner sparks all-time 49ers LB debate with his latest milestone

The San Francisco 49ers came up with more late-game heroics in their Week 2 battle with the New Orleans Saints, emerging with a 26-21 victory in Week 2 but not without needing a big stop from their defense late in the showdown.

In a game that was fairly tight all the way through, a few big plays made all the difference.

One big play actually led to a franchise record being tied.

Linebacker Fred Warner had an excellent game with 11 total tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

That forced fumble gave Warner 16 for his career, tying Hall of Fame linebacker Patrick Willis for the most in franchise history.
