description

Though his touchdown late in the fourth quarter of this NFC Championship matchup between the 49ers and Cowboys would go down down in history as 'The Catch', San Francisco receiver Dwight Clark's second quarter touchdown grab was another crucial piece to the 49ers' eventual win in this one. Coming over the middle, Clark had to go to the turf to haul in this pass in the end zone just before it hit the ground to secure the 20-yard score. Clark tallied 120 yards and two scores on eight catches in this one, as the 49ers famously defeated the Cowboys, 28-27, on Jan. 10, 1982.
