In 1990, Montana once again led the 49ers to the best regular season record (14–2) in the NFL. He was named by "Sports Illustrated" as Sportsman of the Year. A highlight from the season was a rematch with the Atlanta Falcons. Intent on blitzing Montana most of the game, Atlanta's defense allowed Montana to throw for a career-best 476 yards (49ers single-game record) and six touchdown passes, five of them to Jerry Rice. He would end up throwing for 3,944 yards and 26 touchdowns, albeit while also throwing a career-high 16 interceptions. Three of those interceptions came in a November 25 home loss to the Rams, which ended the 49ers' 18-game winning streak (dating back to a home loss to the Packers in November 1989).
