Best Game

In a Monday Night showdown against the New York Giants, Rice grabs 7 passes for 117 yards and a TD. On this night, Montana and Rice bring their "A" games.

Did You Know...

Rice's 60 yard TD at New Orleans actually should not have counted. Rice tried to spike the football before crossing the goalline and fumbled it away...but he was so far ahead of the umpire that there was no call made.

Play of the Year

When you only catch 5 receptions for 38 yards at Anaheim Stadium against the Rams in primetime, you find other ways to produce. John Taylor's two 90+ yard TDs don't result without the lead blocking of Jerry Rice.
