1982: "The catch" that broke lots of Cowboys' hearts!

It happened one Sunday afternoon in January 1982 or the drive that set up "The catch" that put San Francisco in The Super Bowl.   The final score was 27-26.

It may have been the end of the line for those Cowboys' teams of the 1970's. The Cowboys played in one more NFC championship game under Landry in 1983.  They lost to Washington and that was pretty much the end of Landry's post season teams.

Dallas did not play in another NFC title until they met the same SF in 1993, 1994 and 1995.

1982: Montana to Clark and "the catch" that broke so many Cowboys' hearts!

It happened on this day in 1982 and it is still one of the biggest plays in NFL history.   

Yes, "the catch" broke many Cowboys' hearts but it was an amazing play.

The 49ers were driving to score.   They started at their own 11 and down 27-21.  Montana drove the team down to the Dallas' 6 yard line.   It was 3rd and 3 and SF had to score because a field goal would not have not a difference, i.e. Dallas would run out of the clock.

Montana moved to the right, threw the ball in the end zone and Clark jumped and made the catch.    

And they've called it "the catch" ever since!
