New Orleans Saints schedule 2020: 3 Toughest, 3 easiest games

Second Toughest Game: Week 10 vs. San Francisco 49ers

This is going to be, in my humble opinion, a preview of the NFC championship game. Last year, at the beginning of December we were blessed with one of the best games of the entire regular season when these two squared off.

Both Jimmy Garoppolo and Drew Brees performed incredibly. Brees ended with 349 yards, and five touchdowns but the San Francisco 49ers came away with the nail-biting 48-46 win behind Garoppolo’s 349 yards and four touchdowns.

Two teams that typically enjoy showing off their defensive walls combined for 94 points the last outing, and I would expect nothing but another shootout this time around.

This will be an opportunity for the Saints to seek revenge, revenge against a team who beat them in an extremely meaningful game last year, one that played a large role in securing the first seed in the NFC and to show the 49ers that the NFC runs through New Orleans this year.

The 49ers are young, extremely talented and should be found around the top of the standings for years to come. The Saints, on the other hand, are led by an aging Drew Brees, who may not have many years left in the tank.

This game won’t be easy for either side, and we should expect a tight one. It’s not very often you get to see two of the top teams in the league square off, especially twice in a row. Will the Saints earn their payback? Or will the 49ers reign victorious again.
