The New Orleans Saints are locked into a big-time battle in the NFC playoff picture against the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams came into this week's matchup with a 10-2 record and the winner will have a good chance to lock up the No. 1 seed in the conference. In addition to the 49ers and Saints, the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers are also competing for the top spot.

To start this week's game, Brees found Jared Cook for a big-time touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. After a 49ers' touchdown, the Saints were able to score again. This time, Brees found Cook in the end zone on an insane leaping grab for a 13-7 lead after a failed two-point conversion.
