NFL ROUNDUP : Young Leads 49ers Past Steelers, 21-14
Steve Young guided San Francisco to a touchdown on the game’s first possession, helping the 49ers beat Pittsburgh, 21-14, in an exhibition game Sunday at Barcelona before a crowd of 45,330 for the first NFL game in Spain.
The first touchdown at Montjuic Olympic Stadium came at the end of a 72-yard drive when Young passed seven yards to Brent Jones.
Young looked relaxed on his scoring drive against the Steelers first-team defense, completing five of six passes, including an 18-yarder to Jones, nine-yarder to Jerry Rice and 21-yarder to John Taylor.
