OK, San Francisco 49ers fans. It’s time to relish the great Niners history of yesteryear.
Well, 35 years ago, to be exact.
That’s right. Thirty-five years ago today — January 10, 1982 — one Hall of Famer Joe Montana found wide receiver Dwight Clark on a six-yard touchdown pass that led to the San Francisco 49ers eclipsing the mighty Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Championship game.
It became known as “The Catch.”
Every Niners fan… heck, every football fan knows the play. We’ve seen it hundreds of times. It’s that amazing. And it led to the Niners’ first Super Bowl in franchise history and set the stage for the red and gold to dominate the 1980s.
