Rewind: Saints-Niners 2011 Divisional with Melissa Jacobs - Remember That Game

Rotoviz Radio

Originally aired April 2020. Melissa Jacobs (The Football Girl/The Guardian/BBC) regales host Thomas Emerick with the scene at Candlestick Park as Alex Smith and Drew Brees go blow-for-blow in one of the most incredible finishes in NFL playoff history — 28 points in the final 4 minutes. Though this one was especially shocking because, frankly, people didn't know Smith had it in'em. See the betting market, where a 13-3 team coming off a bye gets more than a FG at home. It's January 2012, Saints at Niners.

I'm your host Thomas Emerick and my guest is Melissa Jacobs, founder and managing editor of The Football Girl and a Niners fan at Candlestick that fateful day.

This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and chart the path of the zeitgeist.

I'm your host Thomas Emerick, enjoy the show.
