DWIGHT CLARK
HISTORY
January 10, 1982 - One of the many highlights of Clark's career is the famous winning catch,  Dwight Clark, forever known as "The Catch." ESPN Classic - Trailing the Dallas Cowboys 27-21 in the NFC championship game, the San Francisco 49ers take over on their own 11 with 4:54 left in the fourth quarter. Chased by three Cowboys on third-and-three, Montana runs to his right as his favorite target, Dwight Clark, runs in the same direction. Montana lofts the ball and Clark makes the leaping catch with 51 seconds left. Ray Wersching's extra point gives the 49ers a 28-27 victory.
