It really depends on what you mean by "shutdown." If you mean did Deion Sanders ever shut Rice out completely then no.
The worst that Rice ever did against Sanders was on 9-19-93 when Rice only caught three passes for thirty-three yards. Of course later that same season Rice caught 6 passes for over a hundred yards against Sanders and the Falcons. The best Rice ever did against Sanders was in 1990 (Sanders Sophomore year) when on September 23 Rice caught 8 passes for 171 yards and 1 TD and then three games later when the 49ers again faced the Falcons Rice caught 13 passes for 225 yards and 5 TDs.
After Sanders went from being Rice's teammate in 94 to being a Cowboy Rice and Sanders only showed off twice, and it was a split. In 95 Rice caught 5 passes for 161 yards and 1 TD but in 96 Rice caught 4 passes for 49 yards and 0 TD.
Ultimately Rice had more 100+ yard games (6) against Sanders than he had games of 50 yards or fewer (4).

to me i think that Champ Bailey is the best cornerback of all time. grant it Champ has issues with his groin and hamstring, but u cant throw on him, cause he is either going to intercept it or knock it down, and on top of that he averages 80 tackles a year. Now i don't see Deion sanders doing that. after all Champ is the "King Of Defense".
There have been many great cornerbacks in NFL history, but one of the most widely regarded as the best is Deion Sanders. Sanders was a dominant force with exceptional speed, agility, and coverage skills. He was a two-time Super Bowl champion and a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. His ability to shut down opposing receivers and make game-changing plays earned him the nickname "Prime Time."

Predictably, it is rice, down from a maximum of 14 million metric tons annually in the 1960's, but still nearly 12 million metric tons in 1999. Importation is heavily taxed, and as late as 2005, the Japanese government was subsidizing rice production at up to ten times its actual world market value.
After the American Revolution prices went down on tabacco, rice, and indigo. Less slavery was necessary because the farmers were not making a profit off their crops.
