Saints shut out: It had been almost 20 years since the Saints were held scoreless in a game, and the team that did it to them was the San Francisco 49ers. So it's fitting that New Orleans failed to muster a single point despite two trips to the red zone Sunday as they lost to the 49ers, 13-0. Rod walker has more on that and other ignominious milestones; while Jeff Duncan says the game was a new low for the Saints this season. Unfamiliar faces: Louisiana residents used to get their insurance coverage from companies that were household names. Those days are gone. As Joseph Cranney reports, most of the state is now insured by small, unproven carriers with little familiarity with Louisiana. Rough night in the Quarter: Two shootings overnight Saturday killed one and injured five while throngs of people were in town for the Bayou Classic. Tony McAuley has the story.
