Up next |
| Saints WR Andre Hastings hauled in an 11-yard TD pass in the third quarter to give New Orleans a 21-6 lead. With the 49ers offense in very, very low gear, the 15-point lead was too much of a hurdle. |
The oft-maligned Billy Joe Tolliver, who played a major role in the Saints' most-lopsided victory ever against the
49ers. Tolliver was 12-for-15 for 242 yards and one TD. He also ran for two scores. |

by keeping it on the ground. George also scored two TDs. |
