Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception

Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception refers to a remarkable play in American football during the 1972 AFC playoffs between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Oakland Raiders. With just seconds left in the game, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw threw a pass that was deflected by a defender. Harris, running near the ground, caught the ball just before it hit the turf, then ran it into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown. This dramatic and controversial moment is celebrated as one of the greatest plays in NFL history and symbolizes the resilience of the Steelers franchise.
