 Joe Montana gets carted off the field during a Dec. 14 game against the Chicago Bears. Montana tortured defenses throughout his 11 games that year, accumulating 31 touchdowns while leading the 49ers to a 10-1 mark. His injury forced him to miss the NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Vikings, and a Steve Young-led San Francisco squad was defeated 36-24. |
