quarterback Richard Todd was picked clean by San defense three Interceptions in the first quarter the Snake came in and brought leadership to the Saints It quite enough to prevent a 30-20 victory by

gear by that point leading 22-17 but Cavanaugh responded to the challenge Although he practiced much and had played only one down all season Cavanaugh threw a short pass to Earl Cooper In the fourth quarter and watched as the tight end jigged around two tackles into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown That put the 49ers ahead 24-20 Jeff Fuller's interception of a Stabler pass on the next series and 38-yard return to the New Orleans six set up the second of Ray field foals for a 24-20 lead The Saints stalled again when Stabler threw incomplete on fourth down from his 44 and Wenching virtuall
