Well, see, the thing is, football games consist of two halves.

Chip Kelly had the 49ers hold on purpose to prevent the Saints trying for a TD (at end of First Half)

With eight seconds left before the half, the New Orleans Saints had time for one play from the 49ers’ 13-yard line. On the play, every 49ers defensive back held to keep the Saints from scoring a touchdown. With just four seconds left on the clock, the Saints had to settle for a field goal.

And the Saints went on to Crush the 49ers in the second half.

Psychology matters. The Saints came into the game already thinking they were on the side of right. After the "clever" coaching of Chip Kelly at the end of the First Half (commonly known as cheating), both sides knew who was in the right, and who deserved to lose.

At the end of the 1st half, only because I just looked, the Saints led 31 - 20. 2nd half Saints 10 - 3. Final 41- 23.

I am committed to not watching any football.
