It’s a play that changed the history and fortunes of the Pittsburgh Steelers and is one of the greatest plays in NFL history, too. Now, it’ll be immortalized in a feature film.
That would be the Immaculate Reception that the late Franco Harris pulled off on December 23, 1972, at Three Rivers Stadium against the rival Oakland Raiders. Scooping the football out of the air before it hit the turf, Harris raced to the end zone to beat the Raiders at the last second and send the Steelers to the AFC Championship Game.
The Immaculate Reception will live on forever.
