Montana, Eight Steelers Headline Super Bowl Golden Team

(Reuters) - Joe Montana, one of the greatest clutch quarterbacks in NFL history, and eight members of the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise were among those voted to the Super Bowl 50 Golden Team unveiled on Thursday.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the NFL's championship game, the Pro Football Hall of Fame selected a historical roster of 26 players and one head coach to celebrate the best overall career performances in past Super Bowl games.

Four-time Super Bowl winner Montana, in one of the defining moments of his Hall of Fame career, led the San Francisco 49ers to a come-from-behind win with little time to spare in the NFL's title game 27 years ago.
