In nine years with the 49ers, Dwight Clark caught 506 passes, but he’ll be remembered for just one.

With 51 seconds remaining in the 1982 NFC Championship Game, the Cowboys led Clark’s 49ers 27-21. The play—“Red Right Tight Sprint Right Option”—saw Clark cut left across the end zone, stop, and immediately reverse his path to the right.

49er quarterback Joe Montana scrambled and fired high to the back of the end zone, and Clark leapt higher than Cowboys cornerback Everson Wells, snaring the ball with his fingertips for the go-ahead touchdown.

Clark finished the game with 120 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches, but none more important than “The Catch".
