NFC – Saints-49ers Preview
History, not the resurgent San Francisco 49ers, might be the biggest obstacle facing the surging New Orleans Saints in their NFC divisional playoff game this weekend.
In order to move closer to their second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons, the Saints must win their first-ever playoff road game Saturday against the 49ers, who return to the postseason for the first time in nine years.
New Orleans is 0-4 in playoff road games, joining Cincinnati (0-5) as the only teams to lose all of their postseason contests away from home.
Now, they must face a San Francisco team that gave up 10.9 points per game while going 7-1 at home in 2011.
The 49ers (13-3), who won the NFC West and earned the NFC’s No. 2 seed under first-year coach Jim Harbaugh, are back in the playoffs for the first time since losing 31-6 at Tampa Bay in 2002.
Though this is the first playoff meeting between the teams, New Orleans has averaged 31.0 points during a six-game winning streak over San Francisco that dates to a 38-0 home loss Jan. 6, 2002. Two of those victories came at Candlestick Park, including 25-22 on Sept. 20, 2010, in the most recent matchup. (Source preview: more on ESPN)
The winner will face the winner of the other Divisional playoff game on Sunday between #4 New York Giants vs #1 Green Bay Packers for the NFC Championship Game.

UPDATE: San Francisco 49ers defeated New Orleans Saints 36-32 to advance to the NFC Championship Game next week on Sunday.
