So many memories, mostly because of two names: Montana and Rice.

That will forever be one of the most successful connections in NFL history, with Joe Montana chucking it deep and often to Jerry Rice during the receiver’s early years. After Montana won his first two championships in 1981 and 1984, he and Rice paired up to power an offense that collected another two rings before the decade ended.

A short list of the records set by one of the best connections in league history includes Rice’s career receptions (1,549), his career receiving yards (22,895), and Montana’s career playoff passing touchdowns (45).

About Sean Tomlinson

Hello there! This is starting out poorly because I already used an exclamation point. What would you like to know about me? I once worked at a mushroom farm, which is sort of different I guess (don't eat mushrooms). I'm pretty wild too, and at a New Year's Eve party years ago I double-dipped a chip. Oh, and I write about football here and in a few other places around the Internet, something I did previously as the NFL features writer and editor at The Score. Let's be friends.
