Hebert Tuck rule?

I didn't. The main things I remember from the game were a blocked field goal TD (Johnnie Poe on the score, I think), a late Morten Andersen field goal to take the lead, and the 49ers trying desperately to get into field goal range when Tony Elliott kinda kicked the ball as they were trying to set it up and me being terrified the refs would call unsportsmanlike conduct on him and that would put the 49ers in field goal range (they did not).
I remember the Tony Elliot "kick" very well. The announcers were certain it was intentional.

The Saints needed to pull out all stops to get over the hump vs. the Niners ... I was totally fine with chicanery :D
