New Orleans Saints 27, San Francisco 49ers 13
The 49ers once again found themselves unable to prevail despite taking a 10-0 lead in the first half and fell to New Orleans on the road for their sixth loss of the season. After that initial lead, San Francisco gave up 17 unanswered points in the second quarter alone. The 49ers would surrender a total of 27 unanswered points and would not score again until midway through the fourth quarter.
This game featured a few special teams gaffes, and San Francisco’s were the most consequential. With several key players having been out for a while and the losses piling up, the 49ers are in a tailspin and it could take winning out along with a handful of miracles for them to make the playoffs.
They will have their bye in Week 11 and will face the Rams the following week.
