Save for a jittery few opening minutes in which the 49ers saw a botched snap result in a safety, then allowed the Saints to score on their opening possession, the 49ers have mostly dominated this Monday night showdown between former division rivals.
Saints Vs. 49ers: San Francisco Finally Leads A Game It Is Mostly Dominating
San Francisco had committed two turnovers on the Saints side of the field. One was an Alex Smith interception and the other was a Delanie Walker fumble inside the Saints 10. The 49ers, however, finally broke through to take the lead with a Anthony Dixon two-yard touchdown run.
With the wind whipping around Candlestick Park apparently having such a huge effect on the passing game, a lead guarantees not having to take fortunes into the hazardous aerial conditions.
