The NFL has been releasing full games from its NFL Game Pass archive and recently did so for one of the most exciting games of the 2019 season — the Week 14 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.
The game had significant playoff implications, and both teams, along with the Green Bay Packers, ended up finishing with identical 13-3 records. San Francisco won both games against each of those opponents and ended up with the No. 1 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs, which set up its Super Bowl run.
The 49ers came out on top of the high-scoring back-and-forth bout, winning 48-46 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
While fans may remember the game best by All-Pro tight end George Kittle's 39-yard catch and run on 4th-and-2, dragging Saints defenders with him and setting up the win, the game featured other exciting plays and performances, including one of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's career-best.
The game might be a welcome two-and-a-half-hour distraction for the many Niner Faithful stuck at home right now while observing social distancing.

The NFL has offered NFL Game Pass to fans free of charge through the end of May. It does, however, still require you to sign up for the service. The link above does not.
