We have a rematch of the 2019 NFC Championship game on the NFC side of the bracket! The exception this time is it’s the Packers doing the running, not Raheem Mostert. Two of the leagues most storied franchises clash in a great battle today. Bart Starr’s 4th down game winning sneak in the Ice Bowl vs. Dwight Clark’s miraculous game winning touchdown catch in the 1981 NFC Championship Game. Both of these moments happened against the Dallas the Cowboys.
These two franchises have combined 9 super bowls and look like the top dogs in the NFC conference this upcoming season, it is only right that they square off in our final NFC matchup. Many phenomenal moments from these two franchise throughout history, but easily the one’s chosen are the most memorable.
Alrighty, it’s that time, let’s do it!
Matchup:
(1) Bart Starr sneak vs. (1) The Catch
Winner — The Catch
“One play jump-started a dynasty and the other cemented the legacy of another. Two top 10 quarterbacks of all time facing off is always tough … Has to be ‘The Catch’ though. There’s no telling if the 49ers of the 80’s or the 49ers of the following 20 seasons are ever the same without their first Super Bowl trip … Any play simply known as ‘The Catch’ deserves to be in the finals.” David Havlin.
Another huge thanks to lifelong friend and sport fanatic like myself Dave Havlin and his help.
After much deliberation and thought myself, I knew I couldn’t be biased anymore. I agree with Dave and would have personally chosen “The Catch” myself.
Finally, we have a championship matchup. Representing the NFC is Dwight Clark’s catch and representing the AFC is Franco Harris’ Immaculate Reception.
Who will be the champion?
