But can not be called "THE CATCH"...^^

Some team, has already claimed that moniker! :)


*SNIP*
The Catch refers to what was the winning touchdown reception by Dwight Clark of a Joe Montana pass in the January 10, 1982 NFC Championship Game between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. The Catch is widely regarded as one of the most memorable events in NFL history.


*SNIP*
The 49ers won 28-27 and went on to win Super Bowl XVI over the Cincinnati Bengals.

This game was a watershed in the historic fortunes of both the 49ers and the Cowboys. After being a losing team in the 1970s, San Francisco went on to win four Super Bowls in the 1980s, and made the playoffs eight out of the next 10 years.Meanwhile, Dallas, the most successful team in the NFC in the 1970s, never made it back to the Super Bowl in the 1980s, and suffered losing seasons in the last part of that decade.
