The Catch - 49ers' NFL Championship-winning play

On January 10, 1982, during the 1981 NFC Championship Game at Candlestick Park, Joe Montana threw a game-winning touchdown to Dwight Clark in the end zone on a play that became known as 'The Catch.' The play gave the San Francisco 49ers a 28–27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys and sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl. The moment is widely cited as a turning point in the 49ers' franchise history and in NFL popular culture.
