Overview

• New Orleans’ final drive ended on 4th-and-1 when Bryce Huff strip-sacked Spencer Rattler, allowing San Francisco to run out the clock.
• Rattler threw three touchdown passes to Juwan Johnson, Rashid Shaheed and Devaughn Vele, yet his starting record slipped to 0-8.
• The 49ers converted 8 of 15 third downs, including a late-second-quarter touchdown to Christian McCaffrey that extended their lead.
• Kicker Blake Grupe missed a 40-yard field goal, and penalties and drops stalled promising possessions for the Saints.
• The defense produced a takeaway on Chris Rumph II’s hit recovered by Demario Davis, but a Kyle Shanahan challenge overturned an Alvin Kamara down call before a 42-yard Mac Jones touchdown to Jauan Jennings.
