Nobody’s perfect. Not even the best of the best to ever play the game. And when you have good on good, either side is going to experience more adversity than it’s used to seeing. That’s what former Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famer Rod Woodson recalls of the time that he played against a fellow yellow jacket, former San Francisco 49ers WR Jerry Rice.
It came during a game between the two teams in the 1993 season, which the Steelers lost. And Woodson lost a crucial rep in the game against Rice. But OLB Greg Lloyd saved his bacon, and a likely touchdown in the process.
