Chapter 1: The Big Comeback 3:48 PM EST, Sunday, January 8th, 1984 Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, DC.
It was a wild game in the 1983 NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers & the defending Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins (who won it all in 1982), the 49ers had roared from a 21-0 deficit & tied it up in the 2nd Half; San Francisco had the football with less than 2 minutes left in the game. What would happen next would have major ramifications & start a long dominance of the NFC in winning Super Bowls.....
We move ahead to late in the 4th QTR....
The 49ers have the football & have been running the football with RB Roger Craig, who rushed for 73Yds. QB Joe Montana had thrown for 347 Yds, 3 TDs & 1 INT, San Francisco kept running the football with Craig & RB Wendell Tyler until 49ers Football Coach Bill Walsh called a timeout to discuss strategy... "Now look, we've got to throw the football in order to catch the Redskins off guard. That Redskins defense has been killing us all day & we haven't done diddly SHIT all damn day in attempting to effectively run our offense, looking at the offensive stats, we only got 87 Yds rushing... 87 God DAMN rushing Yds. Ok, Roger & Wendell, I need both of you to get the running game going. Now Freddie, Eason, Mike, Russ & Coop, I need all of y'all to get open when Joe gets ready throw the football Ok ? Now the offensive linemen: get the blocking techniques ready for Joe to throw it!" The Redskins had been frustrating the 49ers all day long, assuming San Francisco would keep the running game going until the end of regulation, getting ready for OT... Montana, realizing the Redskins defense had been giving him problems, figured out there were some weaknesses & decided to pull some trick plays of his own: "To Hell with this bullshit! I'm going to sucker-punch their asses!"
Over at the Redskins sideline, Washington Redskins Football Coach Joe Gibbs was screaming at his defense about 49ers WR Freddie Solomon being left all by himself, "Somebody cover that big fella over there. He's not covered by any of the secondary at all. STOP HIM NOW DAMN IT!" Before the Redskins can react, Montana did a flea-flicker play: first by tossing it to Tyler, who then pitched it back to Montana, who threw it very deep on a Hail Mary pass, hitting Solomon on a 56-Yd TD pass for the go-ahead score:
(1983 NFC Championship Game) San Francisco 49ers: 28 Washington Redskins: 21 4th QTR: 0:28

Final seconds of the 1983 NFC Championship Game 3:58 PM EST, Sunday, January 8th, 1984 Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, DC.
Following the go-ahead TD by the 49ers, Defensive Coordinator George Siefert gathered the defensive unit over to circle around him on strategy: preventing the Redskins offense from scoring by any means necessary.
For the defending Super Bowl Champion Redskins, time was running out & they needed Washington Redskins QB Joe Theismann to pull off a miracle less than 13 seconds in the game. Their high-scoring offense was frustrating the 49ers defense all day & the referees then called one particular controversial penalty against San Francisco, which infuriated the 49ers coaching staff including Siefert, who threw down his headset. It was 1st & 10 on midfield, Theisman got sacked by 49ers DT Fred Dean, which pushed the Redskins back to 2nd & 20 with less than 6 seconds left & no timeouts left for the Redskins (Theisman spiked the ball in preventing time running out).
When the Redskins got out of the huddle, Theisman realized he needed to go deep by throwing the football to either Charlie Brown (who caught the 70-Yd TD during the game), John Riggins (who scored 2 rushing TDs) or Don Warren; the 49ers defense rushed 4 with their 4/3 defense, forcing Theismann to hurry fast, throwing the pass......throwing incomplete leaving just 1 second left on the game clock. It was 3rd & 20: Theisman once again attempted the shotgun pass, it was a dangerous throw (which was intended for Warren).... INTERCEPTED by 49ers OLB Kenna Turner, who ran it all the way to the endzone , the final score was:
1983 NFC Championship Game: FINAL San Francisco 49ers: 34 Washington Redskins: 21
Following the end of the 1983 NFC Championship Game, San Francisco 49ers Owner & CEO Eddie DeBartolo, Jr., yelled in joyous behavior, "Hell Yes BABY! We're going back to the Super Bowl. Now let's shove it down the next opponent's throats!"
Inside the 49ers locker-room, the 49ers were presented with the George Halas Championship Trophy, which Walsh hoisted to a loud cheer from the players & coaching staff. They were also celebrating punching their 2nd ticket to their 2nd Super Bowl appearance in franchise history; they would have to wait to find out who would their opponent be, awaiting the winner of the AFC Championship Game between Los Angeles Raiders & Seattle Seahawks. DeBartolo gave a fiery speech, where he told everyone this mission isn't over yet: it was time to win the Lombardi Trophy, it wasn't going to be easy, but he was confident the 49ers would emerge victorious.

Dwight Clark was a wide receiver (WR). Not a tight end (TE). And I thought he was out with an injury for the NFC title game that year?

Kudos. The edits make it play out much better. I was a pretty big 49ers fan back in the Montana era. Not as big as I was a Cowboy fan but my mom liked Joe Montana so I was partially positive to SanFran

Kind of a requirement given where I grew up. Though I was more a fan of QB Danny White (whom I always felt was unfairly maligned) and DT Randy White who played the exact same position that I did in high school than anything else.
