The Immaculate Reception

Guide Rating - rating
The Pittsburgh Steelers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in one of the NFL's most memorable moments. With a fortunate bounce, Franco Harris found himself on the end of an unlikely reception that changed the outcome of a fantastic defensive struggle with the Oakland Raiders in the first-ever playoff game at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium.

Review:

Great Sports Rivalries offers two versions of the Immaculate Reception. The first, by NFL Films, is approximately four minutes and details the play and the events leading up to it. ESPN has an 11-minute version that provides more detail.
