SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Nick Bosa got a hero’s welcome as he arrived at the 49ers’ sideline in the final minutes of Sunday’s eventual win over the New Orleans Saints. Their first shutout in three years was intact, courtesy of his fourth-and-goal sack.
Minutes earlier, Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga were the 49ers’ defensive heroes, with Greenlaw recovering a fumble at the 1-yard line after a Hufanga hit popped the football into the goal-line atmosphere.
Sunday’s 13-0 triumph over the Saints marked the 49ers’ fourth straight victory, and the fourth straight game in which they did not allow a point after halftime.
