Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception Named NFL Network's Top Play in NFL History

If a football play is so incredible that it can be described as the "Immaculate Reception," it better rank high on any list of all-time greatest plays.

According to the NFL Network, Franco Harris' game-winning play in the 1972 AFC Divisional Playoff between the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers is the best play in NFL history.
