Gratz to Smith for having the game of his life against Drew Brees. He won't do it again.

Agreed. I gained a lot of respect for Eli hanging in that pocket knowing he would get hammered for the 20th time.
49er defense was lights out against NO. Who doesn't win a game while getting 5 turnovers? Of course Brees was the main factor in being in that game, but Dick Vermeil would be happy to tell you it is just about impossible to lose a game while getting 5 turnovers at home.
