AFC Divisional Playoff Game. Pittsburgh, PA.
Down 7-6 from a 30-yard Ken Stabler run.
4th down. 10 to go. 60 yards away from scoring.
And what happened was truly immaculate.
RIP Franco Harris; the creator of the greatest play in Pittsburgh Steelers and NFL History.

Hello! Someone know the name of the final scene when harris get the TD
The immaculate DECEPTION!
In another video I explain how Fuqua's body touched the ball after Tatum hit the ball. A bad call. If the teams were reversed, would the Oakland Raiders been credited with a touchdown in Pittsburgh? Oakland should have won 7-6.
Everyone knows it hit the damn ground
RIP Franco. The ball hit the ground.
No
@@bonzo713 That’s not what Franco told Bob Costas.
Show us the film or photo that demonstrates the officials got the call wrong.
@@ColumbiaB Get a life. You can find it on your own. Bob Costas interviews Franco Harris (RIP).
@@keysersoze5920- “Get a life?” You come up with that all on your own? Get an original thought, boy-o. And quit trying to evade the essential point: There is NO evidence showing the officials got it wrong when they ruled it a clean catch by Harris, and nothing, in all the videos of the play, looks like anything other than a catch in the air, •not• on the bounce. And that includes the wide-angle “coaches’ film” recently recovered from the Raiders’ archives.
On that point, it’s worth noting that Phil Villapiano, who has energetically argued many aspects of that play in the decades since, immediately dismissed questions about •this•. He said that when Madden started arguing with officials about the play, and suggested Harris might have trapped the ball, he (and remember, he had been just three yards from Harris) told him, “Forget that, John; he caught it cleanly.”
And no, Harris never “admitted” he might not have caught it cleanly. All the Steelers talk about the play in public settings with a stage coyness, for the obvious reason that perpetuating an air of controversy and mystery keeps public attention on the play, and on •them•; it’s good for •business•.
And, of course, playing coy makes Raiders fans’ heads explode; it’s the very best way of trolling them.
We was Robbed
sorry but no, tatum hit the ball first and Franco caught it. If you want to blame someone blame Tatum. All he had to do was intecept the pass or knock it down. He went for the kill shot and the Raiders paid a steep price
Jerk Tatum’s assassin tactics caused it. He was in the wrong sport. He should have been in fake wrestling.
The TD pass came on 4th down for Pittsburgh. Those who stumble over themselves in a rush to blame Tatum, claiming he always went for the kill shot against the opponent, disdaining the opportunity to make the “smart play” on the ball, ignore what he did on 1st and 3rd downs, right before this play. On •those• plays, he made beautiful defensive pass break-ups, reaching over and around the receivers to knock the ball down - just the sort of plays that the keyboard all-pros proclaim him incapable of, because of his supposed mania for the big hit.
The •fact• is that in those earlier plays, Tatum made the smart defensive play. And in this play, too, he made the smart play: the way he, Fuqua, and the ball were all converging on the same point, at that speed and with those angles, made an attempt to finesse it, by knocking down the ball, or intercepting it, actually the riskier play. And it •should• have worked. 999 times out of a thousand, after Tatum busts up a reception attempt like that, the ball falls to the turf and Oakland wins. What happened instead, Harris’s making a reception and scoring a TD for Pittsburgh, was the most freakish and utterly improbable chain of events conceivable. It’s simply ludicrous to ascribe that to bad judgment by Tatum.
Man defense killed the Steelers on Stabler's run.
Immaculate Deception
Miami beat Pittsburgh the next week anyway. Still, this was the most uncanny play.
No one was going to beat the Dolphins anyway, but going to the SB is cool.
Good thing Harris scored, cause Gerela sucked as a field goal kicker
And it was very windy.
