The 49ers (7-4) are alone in first place in the NFC West after shutting out the New Orleans Saints (4-8).

SANTA CLARA – Here is how the 49ers graded in Sunday’s 13-0 home shutout of the New Orleans Saints :Four of Jauan Jennings’ six receptions came on the drive that ultimately ended with him scoring the game’s only touchdown. Jimmy Garoppolo took some hits, including an illegal blow to his surgically repaired left knee, that required him to jog on the sideline to stay loose. He completed 70.3 percent of his passes and pushed his streak to 137 consecutive passes without an interception .

Clutching up in the fourth quarter to keep Andy Dalton from firing a touchdown pass put a nice bow on this shutout, especially with Nick Bosa coming through on fourth-and-goal with the 49ers’ only sack. If that wasn’t the play of the day, then it was Talanoa Hufanga dislodging the ball from Alvin Kamara and Dre Greenlaw recovering at the 1. Deommodore Lenoir struggled at times in coverage and drew two penalties, including the holding call that set up goal-to-go from the 4.
