On December 23rd, 1972 the Steelers trailed the Raiders 7-6 in their AFC divisional playoff game, facing fourth-and-10 on their own 40-yard line with 22 seconds remaining in the game and no time-outs. Terry Bradshaw was under tremendous pressure from the defense as he launched the ball down the field. Franco Harris caught the deflected pass with the tips of his fingers, just inches from the ground, and raced 42 yards for the winning touchdown for what many consider to be the greatest play in NFL history. The Immaculate Reception, and a new era of Steelers football, was born.
TSE has chosen what NFL Films calls "The Greatest Play in NFL History" as the theme for our second exclusive limited edition signature series Wilson Authentic Football. December 23, 2012 will mark the 40th Anniversary of the Immaculate Reception, a play that Steeler Fans will never forget!
