San Francisco 49ers fans, set your DVR. The next episode of "A Football Life" will feature Dwight Clark and air on Friday, November 2 at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) on NFL Network.

NFL Network's official site has the following information about the episode:

"The story of the former 49ers wide receiver who thought he wouldn't make the team, but went on to make "The Catch," arguably the single greatest reception in NFL history. The play propelled San Francisco to a decade of dominance in the 1980s that saw the team win four Super Bowl titles. Stricken with ALS in his later years, Clark died on June 4, 2018."

The 49ers recently unveiled statues at Levi's Stadium depicting "The Catch." It features both Clark and quarterback Joe Montana. The iconic play took place against the Dallas Cowboys during the NFC Championship game following the 1981 season.

The team has also been wearing commemorative stickers on its helmets all season in honor of the late receiver.

You can watch a preview of the episode below.
