A fairly balanced take on what happened Sunday. I'd like to call attention to the last takeaway, "Jerick McKinnon's rough day."
Dennis Allen takes a lot of criticism from Saints fans but he deserves a lot of praise for building a defense that has dominated against the run this season. The breakdowns in the defensive backfield are what they are and are certainly frustrating, but the play against the run is encouraging. The 49ers are exactly the type of team that has given the Saints trouble in the past--tough, physical, ground-oriented--but the defense as it stands today is more than able to be as physical as the opposing offense. This has not always been the case and is great to see.
