49ers 27, Saints 24 (OT): Phil Dawson kicked a 35-yard field goal at 9:46 of overtime as visiting San Francisco halted New Orleans’ 11-game home winning streak.
Ahmad Brooks sacked Saints quarterback Drew Brees in overtime and Chris Borland (17 tackles) recovered the ensuing fumble to set up the decisive points as the 49ers (5-4) snapped their two-game losing streak. Colin Kaepernick passed for 210 yards and a touchdown while also tossing a 51-yard, fourth-down dart to Michael Crabtree to keep alive a late fourth-quarter drive that concluded with Dawson’s tying 45-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining in regulation.
Brees passed for 292 yards and three touchdowns for New Orleans (4-5) but also was intercepted twice and lost the critical fumble. Mark Ingram rushed for 120 yards and Jimmy Graham caught 10 passes for 76 yards, including two second-half touchdown grabs.
New Orleans pulled within 21-17 when Brees tossed an 11-yard scoring pass to Graham with 2:49 left in the third quarter. The Saints kept alive the go-ahead drive when Marques Colston broke through two tackles for 24 yards on fourth-and-3, and Brees threw a 2-yard TD pass to Graham with 1:52 remaining to give New Orleans a 24-21 edge.
San Francisco jumped out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead as Frank Gore scored on a 4-yard run and Carlos Hyde added a 9-yard TD. Shayne Graham’s 40-yard field goal got the Saints on the board and Brees hit Brandin Cooks on a 31-yard scoring toss to pull New Orleans within four before Kaepernick connected with Anquan Boldin on a 15-yard scoring pass with 4:45 remaining in the half to make it 21-10.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Graham caught a 47-yard scoring pass on the final play of regulation, but it was negated by offensive pass interference on Graham for his push on 49ers CB Perrish Cox. … San Francisco MLB Patrick Willis (toe) sat out his third straight game. … Ingram has recorded three consecutive 100-yard rushing performances.
