Game Notes

49ers turn back the Saints for 24-17 win.

Jerry Rice becomes the 1st player with 1,000 career catches, but San Francisco is challenged to the end by underdog New Orleans. Rice catches a 36-yard TD pass from Steve Young to give the 49ers a 14-7 lead in the 2nd quarter.

Rice sets up a 1-yard TD sneak by Young with his 1,000th reception. However, the Saints draw within 24-17 and have one last chance before Jim Everett fumbles as he's being sacked on 4th down.
