The Catch
January 10, 1982
Cowboys at the Stick for the NFC Championship
Scully and Hank Stram, With the call on CBS
The crowd was hype is SF, this was deadly serious
Niners got it started in the first
Montana threw an 8 yard dart to Fab Freddie S
Fans in white and blue were waiting for a thrill
Danny White delivered with 26 yarder to Tony Hill
Quarter two, Joe hit Dwight on a 20 yard TD pass
But the 14 to 10 lead wouldn’t last
Dallas marched the ball down the field
But the BS call on Lott gave the Lone Stars another shot.
Tony The Hawk with 5 yard dash
It was 17 -14 at the half
Quarter 3, Bobby Leopold intercepted for the red and gold
Johnny Davis with the goaline leap Niners up 21-17
One minute into the fourth Septien hit the short
Field goal to cut the Niners lead to 1, next drive
Easley coughed it up, and Danny went to work
21 yarder to Doug Cosbie, Dallas had the lead
4 minutes and 54 seconds left in the game
Niners got the ball on their own eleven
It couldn’t be any better Young Joe Montana
Drove his team down to Red Zone heaven
With 58 seconds left, Niners facing 3rd and 3
Down by six, The air was thick with suspense
Sprint Right Option was the call, Freddie meant to get the ball,
But a slip broke the timing of the play,
So Joe pump faked, made Too Tall jump,
Thats when number 16 threw it up and over
To the back of the zone, just hoping Dwight Clark was home
Flash bulbs flashed and number 87 caught The Catch
