Gameday Live Blog Week 14: 49ers vs. Saints

The pressure is on for the San Francisco 49ers (10-2) in week 14 as they hit the road for the second consecutive week to take on the New Orleans Saints (10-2). Playoff seeding implications are getting significantly critical with the last quarter of the season commencing today. The 49ers will look to get back on the winning side so they can return to their first-round bye status.

San Francisco had a fall from grace last week with their loss and Seattle's win. They are currently the No. 5 seed as a Wild Card, which is not enough for this team given the season they have had. A win today will put them back on track for that first-round bye as well as putting the NFC on notice.
