Featured Discussion 49ers @ Saints Game Day Thread

[SmashMouth]

Drew Brees and the Saints are ready to up the ante.

A third-straight NFC South title has been wrapped up. Next on the list is a second straight No. 1 overall playoff seed in the NFC, a goal New Orleans can get closer to accomplishing on Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers visit the site of their last Super Bowl appearance.

“We all know what this game means,” Brees said.

And so do the Niners, who had the inside track to the top seed until they lost last week at Baltimore.

“The more you win, the more people like to say, ‘Isn’t it easier or more relaxing now that you have a good record?'" Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It’s totally opposite. The more you win in this league, the harder it gets."

Especially this week.
