THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!

For nearly 59 minutes, coach Mike Singletary's bold proclamation that San Francisco would stop Drew Brees and the high-powered New Orleans Saints looked prophetic.
Then with one late drive worthy of the Super Bowl champions, Brees eked out another victory for the Saints.

Garrett Hartley's deflected 37-yard field goal fluttered over the cross bar after time expired to cap the winning drive that gave the Saints a 25-22 victory over the 49ers on Monday night.

"We won the game and that's all that counts," Brees said. "There were definitely things you wish you would have done a little bit differently but the fact of the matter is we found a way to win at the end."

The Saints (2-0) took advantage of four turnovers, an errant shotgun snap that gave them a safety and a kick that barely made it through the uprights to spoil the home opener for San Francisco (0-2).
