Dwight Clark made one of the most famous plays in NFL history.
His game-winning touchdown reception in the 1981-82 NFC championship — simply known as "The Catch" — from Joe Montana led the 49ers to a 28-27 win over Dallas Cowboys en route to Super Bowl XVI and the first of San Francisco's five titles.
Clark died Monday from complications with ALS at the age of 61.
I’m heartbroken to tell you that today I lost my best friend and husband. He passed peacefully surrounded by many of the people he loved most.
