Wide Receiver Jerry Rice had a great 1998 season after missing 15 games the previous year as he led the 49ers in receptions (82) and receiving yards (1157).

Quarterback Steve Young was selected to the Pro Bowl for the 7th time after leading the NFL with 36 passing touchdows, while his 4,170 passing yards were 2nd in the NFL and his 101.1 passer rating was third in the league in 1998.

Wide Receiver Terrell Owens led the 49ers with 15 touchdowns in 1998.  His 67 receptions and 1,097 receiving yards were second on the team. It was his touchdown catch between two Packer defenders that put the 49ers into the NFC Divisional Playoffs.
