#52 December 26, 1971 The First Playoff Game
The first playoff game ever played at Candlestick ended George Allen's first season as Redskins coach. John Brodie hit Gene Washington with a 78 yard touchdown pass to tie the game in the third quarter, and a Redskin botched punt attempt recovered by Bob Hoskins in the end zone in the 4th iced it away. The Niners beat Washington 24-20.
#51- the end of the first half of the 100 greatest moments in Candlestick Park history - is tomorrow.
