    Jim Harbaugh didn't call Sean Payton in August before the San Francisco 49ers played the New Orleans Saints, unaware of the "gentleman's agreement" between NFL coaches to talk before preseason games to agree on strategy. Of course, now that he is aware of it, Harbaugh still wouldn't make the call.

    Much was made after the game about a report from a Saints radio broadcaster indicating that New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams went against convention by implementing a heavy blitz package in the teams' first preseason game; Williams reportedly was upset that Harbaugh did not call Payton beforehand to discuss how the teams would approach the exhibition.
