Niners WR Bruce faces his former team on the field

Wide receiver Isaac Bruce made a remarkable start in the San Francisco 49ers' season finale.

He got the first snap Sunday against the St. Louis Rams before the teammates and him hurry out the field. Bruce with No.88 49ers jersey was so active at his 37th for the first time in six weeks, offering him a chance to possibly conclude his NFL career in the city where he was a four-time Pro Bowl pick. Bruce said during the week there was a "75 percent" probability that he would retire after the season. He had caught the winning touchdown pass in the Rams' lone Super Bowl championship. He relaxed himself by untucking his jersey and removed tape after the play and watched on the sideline.

The fans still loved him and chanted his last name as he was in the Rams.
