We are unable to provide the original play-by-play broadcast for this game, but all of the footage is good so we hope you still enjoy! We are very sorry about this!

[@genikal9906]

NFL Throwback hah bruh

[@chrisghanbari_]

The crowd sounds fake. Is it?

[@flyguyry1]

Super fake crowd noise. Did you not have the play by play or its bc of copyright issues?

[@SPTO]

i"m curious as to why you don't have the PBP? (the ol' Al, Frank and Dan days of MNF were the 2nd best iteration of that iconic brand IMO) It might be for copyright reasons but that could be easily alleviated as the NFL should have all rights to the broadcast and thus be allowed to post the commentary as well. Unless it's some crazy rights issue with ABC than it's an "oh well what can you do?" type deal but still...

[@Rocksteddybelmont]

No problem

[@jeffblack2458]

i remember watching this live. i was 16 and going crazy with the John Taylor TD's. im 45 now and damn i miss those days.

[@chuckgreenfield4484]

Me too. I got to San Francisco in 1985.

[@geedup415]

I was 16 going to Phillip Burton. Watched it live too. Awesome memories!!!

[@clementren7047]

John Taylor is really underrated. And it was nice to see Mike Wilson score a TD too.

[@crashthemalinois9126]

Look at the #1 wide receiver on the team blocking all the way down the field. That’s another reason why #80 is the GOAT!!

[@pouncingpantherpucks2779]

He’s the definition of what a hard worker is.

[@cliftonrainey49erlifer]

Jerry Rice is a great blocker 💯💯💯

[@itsnotmereally1]

Jerry Rice is the GOAT Best there ever was.

[@Thehighwaymurderers]

Clifton Rainey Insane how good he was. That play with him and John Taylor made me emotional how Jerry Rice is the best there ever will be and the hardest working man in show bizz/WORK.

[@JUSTME-px9mv]

Nice spot, JR sped in front of Taylor, blocked for 70 yards at full speed, then threw his body into the legs of the pursuer. This film should be shown in college football locker rooms.

[@ams4374]

Not just that play but Taylor's other catches too. Jerry Rice was a total player not just the greatest receiver ever.

[@ronaldh8446]

It was special to watch those guys on the Niner teams.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

John Taylor's 92 yard catch- what an amazing play! 4th quarter 95 yard catch- Hold my Beer

[@SPTO]

I know you got to draw in the younger audience by name checking Montana but this is better known to those in the know as the John Taylor game as he had 11 catches for 286 yards and two touchdowns.

[@d.i.g.i.t.a.l.9268]

Dude he was all legs lol. Remember him as a kid jumpin over mfs with ease 💯

[@hrtvfan2870]

And those two made Taylor the first player in NFL history with two touchdown receptions of 90 yards or more in a single game.

[@d.i.g.i.t.a.l.9268]

@wnypaisan27 is he Chuck Norris' doppelganger 🤔

[@רפאלגומז]

I remember the Phlipper Anderson game where he got close to 400 receiving yards and about 4 TDS or something like that.

[@riteousrighthand6144]

People forget how good JT was.

[@joseangelhernandez5274]

I remember watching this as a kid, John Taylor never got the attention he deserved but in this game he sure as hell did. Them Jerry Rice blocks too! Helluva combo Montana was graced with.

[@legitleroy7676]

The most underrated 49er ever in my opinion, he was a great football player!

[@hremdldw]

J. T. was great just happened to be on a team with one of the greatest Football players to ever lace them up Jerry Rice . Love how on the first 90+ reception John weaved in and out following his blocking with Taylor's signature spike between his legs .

[@F4lleNdown]

You are an absolute treasure you know that right NFL Throwback!

[@GiantSFaithfuL]

Wow, the memories!!!! I was 12 years old watching this game. Will never forget it!

[@ericmaristern]

One of the best games ever! Some people called it the John Taylor Memorial 10k Run. Rams were playing great and Montana was intercepted twice. Somehow they had Rice well covered but John Taylor had the night of his life. I was in a Bay Area sports bar and never heard a louder noise than when JT made that second 90+ yard run!

[@TL2354]

Who called it that?

[@Northphilly-wu4oq]

Back round noise sound like tec mo bowl

[@bgutty5945]

So was the game play. On those two 95 yd TDs for john Taylor was exactly how I would have ran in tecmo lol

[@sebastiangonzalez-pf7zi]

[@JimDandy49]

I would prefer the non stop "hut hut" over the incessant white noise. I had to turn the volume down on this.

[@faithingod9554]

[@davidcampbell4174]

[@Gotthewin23]

bro, if brady had a game like this people would be calling him lucky. montana has this game and its ovations for his greatness. two short passes gone 80 yards, everrett fumbled the exchange, a kickoff return fumble, and everett taking a bad sack and coming through in the clutch.

[@adam-remy8377]

Roger Craig's high step at 6:36 is amazing. Him and John Taylor way underrated.

[@Tubeite]

Ah, the good ol' days of the 49ers, Rams, Falcons and Saints in the NFC West. I know the current division of 49ers, Rams, Seahawks and Cardinals is more geographically accurate, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore.

[@connormccann4860]

Panthers were in the NFC West too for a little while

[@Tubeite]

@@connormccann4860 Yes I remember that too. The Panthers joined the NFC West in '95 as an expansion team. They did pretty well in their first season as I recall, 7-9. Anyway I only mentioned the four teams as that is the division Joe Montana would have been familiar with at the time. He never met the Panthers, even with his brief stay in Kansas City.

[@connormccann4860]

Tubeite yeah, Montana might have played them had he stuck around for just one more year but it would have depended on the weird schedule system they had back then

[@bennyrobinson1935]

95

[@Tubeite]

@@bennyrobinson1935 Ah yes it was '95. Thanks for the correction.

[@ThomasMcMahon14]

One of my favorite memories of all time was watching this game live. Montana will always be the best of all time. Not a fan of the crowd noise, but thank you for posting!!

[@ExperienceEric]

Same here. I will never forget this one.

[@richardmorris7063]

Brady's had two careers the equivalent of one of Montana's

[@jons5658]

Richard Morris Because you can’t savagely hit QBs anymore. Brady wouldn’t have physically lasted any longer than anybody else did in the 80s and 90s.

[@jeanrobert7071]

Agreed...Sorry but don't compare Pretty Boy Shady Brady to the Legend and to me Still the Best QB Ever to take a Snap..4-0 Along with Terry Bradshaw same 4-0 Is Probably #2. Well when you have the Greatest Runjing Back in Crsig and Wide Recievers in Rice/Taylor and of Course one of the all time Best Centers on Randy Cross...Well You Don't Lose Superbowls Period..To Me the '85/'89/'89 Niners Team was the Best..They were Great in every Area and had it All🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈👏👏👏

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

For an insanely classic Montana 4th quarter comeback, do you have Niners at Philly from earlier this season? Through three quarters, Veteran's Stadium was a madhouse. By the time Montana was through in the 4th, it sounded like a graveyard.

[@marecku21]

I made that request too, so I second your motion. I did not catch that one live, and I have NEVER seen a replay or video of it. Hopefully someday before I die . . .

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

I saw it originally, but not since. Sick comeback.

[@kbsffan77]

I was there

[@halfdohm]

Thanks! I was at this game and remember JT going wild. Somehow a planned trip to the game from SF got cancelled so the tickets were sold by the travel agency I believe in San Bruno. This meant that 95% of the section we were in was all 49er fans. Awesome experience.

[@James-bv4nu]

That was a classic SF - LA rivalry. Everyone fought like hell in that game: Montana, Brent Jones, Roger Craig, JR, Lott, ... But JT! That was the night JT#82 put the team on his back. And he showed why he's the dangerous pro-bowl kick-returner. So many times Niners lucked out on their third round picks: John Taylor, Terrell Owens, NaVorro Bowman, Guy Macintyre, Bill Romanowski, Bob St.Clair, Joe Montana.

[@matthewburris769]

I was a young man fan without a team in '89, but after watching THIS game with my Dad and Uncle (big niner fans from their dad and uncles) I was then and forever a 49er fan for life.

[@StuON22]

Just look @ those beautiful LA Rams uniforms. I remember watching this game like it was yesterday, total heartbreaker for me....actually I'm still not over it!!

[@marecku21]

I remember this amazing game like it was yesterday. On of Montana's great comeback's and also a career night for John Taylor with a 92 and a 95 yard touchdown catches. Also two interceptions for Montana (although one was a tipped pass), rather high for him, but notably on booth plays he stopped the interceptor with a "take out his legs" tackle and pushing him out of bounds. Just a great, great game. Sure miss that 49er team.

[@timk3539]

I was at this game. One of John Taylor's long TDs came straight toward my end zone seat. I remember thinking the Niners were really having a mulligan of a game, but then Joe rallied the troops to come back.

[@aaronveegee]

I was at this game. Probably THE most painful loss I've experienced as a lifelong die-hard Rams fan, including Super Bowl losses. After Montana's first INT, I thought the rout was on.

[@Trancymind]

Joe Montana- Hold my beer.

[@planetoftheatheists6858]

I remember this game like it was yesterday...

[@shawnkristoferu8303]

Sorry for those who missed watching Montana live. I watched him since 1980 until he retired with four superbowl ring. Never lost one. His greatest comeback was in SB 20, against Bengals. Took the 49ers from the 6th yard to TD in about two minutes when the game time ran out. They were behind by 3 & won by 4.

[@jpan7071]

I watched that game at home. Live. With a tub of popcorn on my lap. And I watched Joe Montana work his magic so many times. Truly, the best ever.

[@sushibar777]

People forget how good John Taylor was, and how important he was to the Niners' success back then. He played next to Rice, and never sought out the spotlight. After retiring I think he went back to his hometown and coached high school football. Pretty amazing. The two long TDs here showed speed, strength, the ability to make cuts and to not outrun blockers. There have been a number of notable wide receiver pairs in NFL history (Swan/Stallworth, the Two Marks, Branch/Biletnikoff, even Solomon/Clark for the 49ers a few years earlier), but Rice/Taylor may be the best of all. Add in John Frank, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Montana, and a really good offensive line, and defenses had a lot to deal with.

[@hawkeyefordf250]

Jim Everett was wildly underrated

[@JGARZAMUSIC]

This needs to be called John Taylor's Monday Night Comeback. Still an underrated receiver.

[@achilles9448]

Thank you NFL throwback we're bringing some really good memorial games I am a 49er diehard fan and a huge fan of the NFL in general. But watching these games life was it my favorite part the reasons why I keep some games in memory my heart not because of the game or how good it was was because the time I spent with my family. My brothers and my cousins watching games like this together with our uncle that's the main reason why am football fan now that we are grilling up in the NFL it's self is a different game plus with the politics involved now. And with social media it's really a different experience from back in the day until now. I remember every Sunday morning or Monday night we go over to my cousins house and we stay up and watch the entire game because we know later we can't re-watch it because at the time and it wasn't so big and you didn't have iPhones so watching the game live meant something back then watching with your friends or your family was really huge because if you lost with the heart breaking game your family and your friends are with you take care of the paint and when you have great games especially in the playoffs what better way to celebrate with your fellow fans or better your family and your friends. No you don't have to watch a game you can just keep it updated and the way the NFL is now yes I do you love NFL but not as much if I miss a game like just record it and that's it especially when the politics again involved and I just turn off automatically I am not saying politics is not Important. It is very important and we should take it very seriously that's why we deal with it almost every single day and that's why we need a break from me the average three hours a week for 6 to 9 months well I'll depends if your team does the playoffs I really do miss watching it with my brothersAnd my cousins are bonded was so strong back because we couldn't wait until we see each other the following Sunday so thank you again Ana for throwback for taking us back in time just for a few minutes thank you so much

[@luckydog2012]

Haven't seen the highlights of that game in about thirty Years thank you so much brings back great memories great game 2

[@pv032]

This game proves what I always knew about John Taylor: he was a genuine superstar. I have no doubt he would have been the number one receiver and first ballot HOFer had he played on any other team during the era he played. That he had to share catching the ball (and the limelight) with not just any receiver but the GOAT himself, is the reason why my nickname for #82 was "The Shadow".

[@matthewburris769]

Taylor had a number of games where he disappeared too...then again the niners had him returning punts (!!!) up until 95!

[@mattelgin]

So many hits that would be illegal today. Lott wrapping up around the head, defensive backs diving on a downed receiver on the ground, late high hits, etc... amazing how much has changed in that regard.

[@mayhemjr.803]

This is way it was ALWAYS played...and should still always be played. Not this " oooo you can't touch the quarterback...HELL you can't even BREATHE on the quarterback!"

[@matiasllull]

Jesus! Montana was a beast, and Taylor unstoppable this game

[@MrArdytube]

I had forgotten that the rams were such a good team…. I particularly remember Erick Dickerson. He had a distinctive style when he ran… that made him seem like he was beyond human

[@auerstadt06]

I remember going to the supermarket with my dad after the game and shaking my head and saying "I can't believe we just saw that" over and over. The Rams uniforms looked good when they had sleeves.

Did Rice's name get called at all before or after out that other than for that SPECTACULAR block? They kept him shutdown, ultimately paving the for Taylor's night

[@SJM6791]

I remember this game like it was yesterday. I was 13 and had just started being allowed to stay up and watch MNF. The Rams had beaten the 49ers earlier in the year and had a chance for a rare season sweep of the 49ers in that era. Joe Montana and John Taylor put an end to that wishful thinking with those two amazing 90+ yard TD receptions. The thing I remember as much as those TD’s was Jerry Rice’s blocking down the field on both plays! This 49er’s team was awesome however, they had no business winning this particular game. Outside of a few plays, the Ram’s totally dominated them for the majority of this game. You could never underestimate the Rams ability to snatch defeat from victory in the Jim Everett era.

[@johnanthony2333]

[@coinraker6497]

Remember this game well. It was like John Taylor was a track meet. Niners such a fun team to watch growing up in the Bay Area. Montana, Rice, Taylor, Lott...and all the rest. Now I barely care about football or sports in general but watching this takes me back to those good times.

[@elitehelghast2306]

Funny memory about this game, my father was a huge Rams fan and hated the 49ers, I was born in the Bay Area and loved the 49ers since day one. This game was around Christmas time, when the Rams were dominating the first half, I was complaining and bitching. My dad was loving it. In the 2nd half after JT 2nd 90+ yard touchdown, I started going nuts. My dad's anger was building. When the 49ers completed the comeback, I was rubbing it in. My dad started chasing me through the house. He knocked over the Christmas tree! He was so pissed, more because the Rams choked that game away!🤣

[@owenmcgee8496]

I remember this, "staying up late" to see it. Looks now almost like a scabby (fluke) win, with the killer Rams turnovers, though I was rooting for 49ers. And the soundtrack to this video, with false cheers the whole time, reminds me of "4th and Inches", a Commodore 64 game I used to play at around the same age/time period. Couldn't do that now, even I wanted to, due to obsolete equipment etc. Still remember it, though. I also remember the sound of Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf & Frank Gifford commentaries.

John Taylor sets a record that will stand the test of time: 2 touchdown receptions of 90+ yards. It's very rare to do that in a career let alone a single game. Well done 92.

People forget about old JT but he was awesome. He also holds the NFL record for longest punt return 95 yarda. I was at the Monday night game against Washington, sitting in the opposite end zone. As he was fielding the punt I was yelling NO!NO! NO! because in was on his own 5 I went from that to GO! GO! GO! My buddy gives me shit about it to this day...What a great memory...That's why we watch sports! For the memories!!

Still remember this game like it was yesterday. Still pisses me off almost 30 years later.

sub4ra you should be pissed off that rams got raped by niners in the championship

[@sub4ra]

@@UnlockOTPR No, that was expected. At that point, no way were they going to be stopped. But during the season, at home, Monday night, up 17-0, lead for the first 55 minutes, there was a lot of hope.

Damn! John Taylor had a night for the ages. Also, props to Jerry Rice for his great down field blocking.

Can anyone else belive that the saints and falcans were in the NFC west with the niners and rams

[@orangeviperau9960]

NFC South is little recent, Falcons, Saints, Rams and 49ers, 1995 enters Carolina Panthers in this division, more crazy is Tampa Bay playing with Green Bay, Vikings, Detroit and Bears in a extinct NFC Central.
