Saints Are Hot, but They Have Been Stopped

Via NBC San Diego  |  January 10, 2012
The New Orleans Saints right now appear unstoppable. In brushing aside the Detroit Lions Saturday night in a wild-card playoff victory, the Saints’ jazzy offense was in perfect rhythm in both its passing and running games. Now the Saints march into Candlestick Park this Saturday to meet the 49ers in a divisional-round NFC playoff game. Yet the 49ers are taking solace in the fact...
