The 49ers knew that this week was going to be a tough test. The Saints were on a roll and at home, but San Francisco played well in all phases and survived an overtime thriller.
This wasn't a pretty game from San Francisco's perspective. But in the face of desperation, beauty is only skin deep.
There was almost nothing positive from the Raiders in their first blowout loss since interim coach Tony Sparano replaced the fired Dennis Allen after four games.

Not much changes for the Oakland Raiders these days: They keep losing games, and they can't get healthy, either. With their talent level, the Silver & Black can ill afford to be injured. But now the last winless team in the NFL faces the high-scoring Denver Broncos at home, and the roster is banged up and bruised still.
10 weeks into the season and the Saints and 49ers are relatively healthy. Both are dealing with injuries and could miss some players, but all in all will be full strength. The only real question for the 49ers is if Patrick Willis will play.
The Broncos meet the winless Raiders in Oakland Sunday, a week after Denver was trounced by the Patriots.
Two NFL teams with 4-4 records, the 49ers and the Saints, meet in New Orleans Sunday.

At the start of the season, a Cleveland-Cincinnati battle as a Thursday Night primetime game did not appear to be an ideal television choice.
PICK-A-SIDE: Any chance a "Harbaugh" may make it on this list? Find out who made the cut...
It's been a rough week for the 49ers: the team fell to 4-4 after a crushing defeat to the Rams, the rumors of Jim Harbaugh leaving persist, and now they've lost once-promising prospect Marcus Lattimore for good due to ongoing knee trouble. It appears Las Vegas bookies have taken note of the dark clouds currently circling Santa Clara, and they've made the three-time NFC Title Game contender a long shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this year.
The 49ers knew they were buying a lottery ticket in 2012 when they drafted former South Caroline running back Marcus Lattimore in the fourth round despite severe knee damage left over from a college injury. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that ticket will hit.
John Madden says the NFL appears to be making progress in the effort to reduce player concussions.
Week 10 of the 2014 NFL regular season has a lot of big games on the schedule and that includes two big AFC contests that include match-ups between potential playoff teams. Steve Tasker of CBS Sports took some time to discuss the "Thursday Night Football" game between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals and then a Sunday match-up between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs.
49ers legend Jerry Rice and others have recently said they think Jim Harbaugh's tenure with the 49ers will be over at season's end, no matter how far the team goes. Where will he find his next gig? If the voters of Michigan have anything to say about it, the former University of Michigan quarterback will be taking up residence in the statehouse.
First place is on the line in the air tight AFC North as the Browns visit the Bengals on Thursday night. Considering the Browns are involved, that's hard to believe-remember, Cleveland hasn't posted more than five wins since 2007.
Regardless of whether the Oakland Raiders win a game this season or not, the year is lost. It's time to look at next season's roster, anticipating that a new general manager and a new permanent coach will be in charge of the Silver & Black for 2015 and beyond.
There is no reason for the 49ers to panic despite their 4-4 record. There is a big difference between 5-4 and 4-5 so a win this week should silence the panic talks. A loss though will certainly warrant a raise in concern.
