San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints: Full Report Card Grades for 49ers

November 7, 2016   ·   Ryan Sakamoto   ·   Jump to comments

The San Francisco 49ers drew first blood with a 49-yard field-goal, but the momentum stopped there. A team that continues to struggle on both sides of the ball, it was the 49ers' undisciplined run defense that allowed the New Orleans Saints to come out victorious. 
From not maintaining gap integrity to being outleveraged at the POA (point of attack), the Saints proved to be too much down in the trenches for the 49ers to keep up in a lopsided 41-23 loss.
If you can't stop the run, it doesn't matter who is behind center for the opposing team. Unfortunately, the 49ers faced a first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees, who torched cornerback Tramaine Brock all game long.
The 16th-year veteran would finish in style, completing 28 of 39 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns.
