The San Francisco 49ers will honor the late Dwight Clark in a number of ways during the 2018 campaign.
San Francisco will host a tribute in Clark’s memory during its Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 21. The celebration will be highlighted by the unveiling of a statue depicting “The Catch” – Clark’s iconic game-winning touchdown in the 1981 NFC Championship Game – outside Levi’s Stadium.
49ers players will also wear “87” helmet decals throughout the season that feature Clark’s legendary catch.
Clark died June 4 after a battle with ALS. He’s a two-time Super Bowl champion, and later had his No. 87 retired by the 49ers.
