A pair of interception returns for scores by San Francisco were too much for New Orleans to overcome at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the loss of their most explosive running back to injury, the New Orleans Saints leaned on their running game to ground the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tough loss. LSU played like a championship team until the final 94 seconds. Against a championship team, that is not enough. To the victors go the spoils.
