Basically, the Saints had 8 seconds left on the clock prior to half - enough time to take one shot at the end zone, then kick the field goal. The 49ers corners all intentionally held the Saints receivers. 5 yard penalty, but it prevented any shot at all of the end zone, and 4 seconds ran off the clock. The Saints were forced to kick the field goal.
