The New Orleans Saints have rebounded from a 17-0 deficit in the first half against the San Francisco 49ers, and seem to have most of the momentum in their 2012 NFC Divisional Round game. It would probably be smart for Alex Smith to not start committing turnovers at this point.

Smith fumbled the ball on a scramble late in the second quarter, setting the Saints up in great field position with just 17 seconds left on the clock.
