San Francisco 49ers (14-3) vs. New York Giants (11-7)
The San Francisco 49ers got an improbable win over the Saints in the final minute last weekend as Alex Smith turned in a Montana like effort.

Steve Young was a great QB for the San Francisco 49ers
Lefty throwing QB Steve Young bided his time behind Joe Montana as his backup. But, when he got his chance to shine….he took full advantage of it.

The San Francisco 49ers are in for a challenge tomorrow afternoon at Candlestick Park. The Niners are an old school team that wins by running the ball and playing defense. They are built to win on any kind of field regardless of weather. The Saints on the other hand, are a team that wins by outscoring their opponent with a high powered offense. But, the Saints are nowhere...
