Description
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One last time, Jerry Rice left Candlestick Point a winner. Rice, the NFL’s most prolific receiver and career touchdowns leader, likely played the final home game of his San Francisco career in the 49ers’ 17-0 win over Chicago on Sunday. He left the field on the shoulders of his teammates while thunderous cheers echoed across the wind-swept field.
