Tied at 24-24 with seconds remaining (and soon after Colin Kaepernick saved the 49ers’ bacon moments earlier), Jimmy Graham hauled in a Drew Brees hail mary attempt and appeared to have scored a game-winning touchdown that would have saddled San Francisco with a 4-5 record.

The 49ers went on to win in overtime 27-24 and handed Saints head coach Sean Payton his first home loss in New Orleans since January 2011.
