National reactions: Saints’ shutout by 49ers draws plenty of criticism
Here are the latest national media reactions to the New Orleans Saints’ 13-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12, ending the longest active streak of games played without being shut out:
The last time the Saints were held scoreless was Jan. 6, 2002.
They lost 38-0 in Week 17 of the 2001 season against . . . you guessed it, the #49ers.

Saints had 5 possessions inside of the 49ers' 43-yard line.
Zero points to show for it. What an outing.

If the Seahawks lose to the Raiders or the 49ers lose to the Saints this afternoon, the entire NFC East will hold a playoff spot.

Another 49ers first down, and the Saints are going to get shut out.

49ers 13, Saints 0.
That's SF's fourth straight second-half shutout this season, and their first full-game shutout since 2019 (at Washington).
That was a championship-caliber effort from the 49ers defense in a game where a lot went against them

The @Saints have been shut out for the 1st time since week 17, 2001 against the @49ers . The QBs in that game? Jeff Garcia and Aaron Brooks

49ers have beaten the Saints. So the Seahawks have a lot at stake these next few minutes.

#49ers defense did a great job limiting the Saints biggest threats
Alvin Kamara 50 total yards, 2 fumbles

Christ Olave 62 rec yards— Steph Sanchez (@Steph49K) November 28, 2022

Jimmy gonna Jimmy. Just got to wait and see when. Got crazy lucky with that penalty that had nothing to do with the pick.

The wild thing is that the Saints actually drove into 49ers territory enough times that they could've feasibly won this game with five field goals.

Saints lose 13-0, with Andy Dalton the leading rusher today (21 yards). Yikes, yikes, yikes.

The officials in this 49ers-Saints game need to chill for a bit.
