49ers vs Saints Preview
The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the more surprising teams this season at 10-2, but are coming off a tough loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The difference ending up being a pair of key fourth downs in the fourth quarter. The 49ers missed on theirs, while Lamar Jackson and the Ravens were able to pick one up, setting up the game-winning field goal with no time left.
“I thought we had our opportunities there at the end,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “Big miss not being able to convert that fourth-and-1. I think we would’ve had a good chance to win the game if we did that. … A hard-fought game and two good teams that I think both played well, and we ended up not being able to get the win.”
The 49ers fell from the No. 2 seed in the NFC to the fifth thanks to a Seahawks victory, but have a chance to regain ground with a victory over the Saints, who are currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
“Well, I went to WrestleMania there two years ago,” 49ers tight end George Kittle told ESPN. “So that was pretty loud when The Undertaker came out. I’m expecting it to be like that the entire game. I’m just looking forward to it. It’s going to be an absolute blast.
“Championship belt. Football, WWE — same thing, I guess.”
With such a strong start and a top seed still in their grasps, the 49ers have revved up the focus this week in preparation for the Saints. Veteran wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has led the charge on that front.
“The sense of urgency is huge,” Sanders said. “It’s playoff football around here … Obviously, we want the No. 1 seed. At the end of the day, we want to make the playoffs, and we definitely have got a tough schedule. If you look around the league, we’ve got the Saints, we’ve got the Seahawks, they’re right there for the No. 1 seed.
“The time is now. I was just telling guys it’s time to cut out all the extracurricular activities and just home in on the season for the next hopefully two-and-a-half months and see if we can do something special around here.”
The Niners have the attention of the Saints, who are 5-1 at home this season and have won three-in-a-row after a tough loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 10.
“These guys, I’m telling you, just when you watch this team play, defensively and offensively and in the kicking game, they’re as balanced a team as there is,” Saint head coach Sean Payton said.
The Saints are a two-point favorite for the game.
