The San Francisco 49ers are now 7-4 after shutting out the New Orleans Saints in front of their home crowd at Levi’s Stadium.
Sunday’s 13-0 triumph over the Saints marked the 49ers’ fourth straight victory, and the fourth straight game in which they did not allow a point after halftime.
While it was the 49ers’ (7-4) first shutout since Oct. 20, 2019 at Washington (9-0), they had not done so at Levi’s Stadium since the 2016 opener against the Los Angeles Rams, in Chip Kelly’s debut as a one-season-and-done coach.
After posting second-half shutouts in their past three wins, the 49ers instead blanked the Saints in the first half — and the second half. New Orleans’ offense produced 260 yards, went 4-of-11 on third downs, and, of course, 0-for-2 on red-zone drives.
This opened a three-game homestand for the 49ers, with their next guests being the Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Sunday matinees.
