Video Of The Day - 12/23/2011


39 years ago today Franco Harris caught a Terry Bradshaw pass that deflected off Raiders safety Jack Tatum and ran it in for the game-winning score in an AFC divisional playoff game to give the Steelers an improbable 13-7 victory over the Raiders. It is one of the most incredible plays in NFL history and by far the most recognizable play in Steelers history.


It never ceases to amaze me the ramifications of this play and trying to imagine the play if it happened in a game today. No doubt it would be the Top Play on SportsCenter for months. This play also signifies the first unofficial use of instant replay in an NFL game. So Happy Holidays Steeler fans and rejoice in the merry joy of the Immaculate Reception.
