Sad day. Dwight Clark was a heck of a football player and an even better person by most accounts.
I remember watching that game during my freshman year at App. I watched the 49ers beat the Bengals at the Continental Divide bar in Blowing Rock (in the Green Park Inn) the next week.

Yes, along with CTE, Alzhimers (sp?) and other brain diseases.
