In 1972, Steelers vs. Raiders in “The Immaculate Reception”. Footballs take funny bounces, but this was ridiculous. The Pittsburgh Steelers were hosting the Oakland Raiders in a playoff game at Three Rivers Stadium. For the Cinderella Steelers, it was their first postseason appearance since 1947, but the clock was just about to strike midnight. With 22 seconds to play and Oakland leading 7-6, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw was faced with fourth and ten at his own 40-yard line. When his primary receiver couldnʹt run his route, Bradshaw scrambled and then heaved the ball downfield. As the Steelersʹ Frenchy Fuqua and Oakland cornerback Jack Tatum collided, the pass ricocheted off Tatum (or so the referees ruled) and sailed up in the air — right onto the fingertips of Pittsburgh FB Franco Harris, who plucked the ball off his shoe tops in full stride and rumbled the last 42 yards into the end zone for what is still the most improbable winning TD in playoff history.
