I remember when Franco went to the Seahawks…..sad sad times at our house…..we still cheered for him!!!!! Not for the Seahawks…..just for Franco…….in our hearts he was still and always will be a Steeler!!!!!!!
I will always have a love in my heart for the Steelers and Pennsylvania. The team thought enough of Tn. to come to Knoxville for an exhibition game. I had a crush on Franco Harris and will miss him greatly. May God comfort his family and the fans.
@@AG_2690 search up “have your ever seen this angle of the immaculate reception” shows the full angle of it. new footage came out like a year or 2 ago
The Pittsburgh airport has two statues next to each other as you leave the arrival gate area escalators. Franco's Immaculate Reception next to George Washington. I've never seen anyone lined up to take a picture next to our founding father. I've seen the line 3 deep waiting for a picture next to Franco's statue.
And the exact spot where Franco Harris scooped up the football for the Immaculate Reception at the former Three Rivers Stadium is marked with a plaque commemorating a moment as well as the sidewalk being patterned with yard stripes as they would have been in the former stadium.
Man, it’s still hard to believe his gone. Right when the anniversary of the immaculate reception in the same night, they were going to retire’s jersey number.
What a wonderful brotherly relationship between #32 Franco Harris and #12 Terry Bradshaw. Ironically, the Steelers were not too far from entering field goal range. I am not certain as to whether the Steelers had any time outs left. But, let's say the Steelers had none. Still, on fourth down, the Steelers needed a big play to convert the first down. If I remember, it was fourth down and 20+ yards for a first down. Hypothetically, if Bradshaw finds Lynn Swan on a sideline route and Swan steps out of bounds to stop the clock, the Steelers would have time to kick a field goal. Nevertheless, this one play, probably produced the greatest winning team in the 1970's in the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers excelled in every facet of the game; offense, defense, special teams, coaching and the front office.
"one of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history," except that it didn't happen in the Super Bowl - it was an AFC divisional playoff game. The week after this game the Steelers lost the AFC championship game, 21-17, to the Miami Dolphins, who went on to win Super Bowl VII and complete an undefeated season.
I first saw this a year ago. An important part of the Immaculate Reception that they missed is re-creating the collision between Jack Tatum, Frenchy Fuqua, and the football. While there's a dispute over whether Fuqua touched the ball, there's no dispute of the collision and the ball coming back towards the line of scrimmage. RIP Franco Harris, my hero.
*TRUTH FROM A RAIDERS FAN* The Raiders were arguing a double touch. NOT WHETHER OR NOT FRANCO CAUGHT IT. DT was (changed 1978, this play happened 6yrs b4) a rule that states no offensive player can touch a tipped pass unless touched by the defense first. The other angle slowed down is better. Watch the raiders in other clips, they tap their fingers for the call. REAL TALK RAIDER NATION... CAN I GET A NEW CARR ? ONE NOT NAMED CARR....
The play would have really been the greatest in history if the Steelers would have went on to win the Superbowl, but they lost to the Dolphins in AFC Championship game
It isn't a genuine re-enactment. The controversy is not adequately and clearly explained to the viewers. The video description is incorrect, as this did not happen at the Super Bowl. And the claim that both teams are "sworn to secrecy" and no one expresses an opinion is absurd drivel. Other than that, great vid!
this was an era when real sports were played. I have not watched the Nfl since tomlin won with cowers team. NFL is now about on the par of professional wrestling, Lambert was right quarter backs should be required to wear a dress, Tom Brady this is you.
Do you consider the Immaculate Reception the most iconic play in NFL history?
FOX Sports Yupp
It is!
As a Steelers fan...I actually have to think about this.
You better believe it
Of course it is
RIP Franco! 😭😭😭😭😭
Rip
R.I.P
Rest in peace, Franco. Thanks for giving us one of the greatest NFL moments in history.
Bozo
R.I.P. Franco Harris. he was and will always be a legend.
Terry Bradshaw on the Immaculate Reception: "You gotta know how to make it bounce, baby."
Absolute Legend.

Once a Steelers always a steeler
Wow what a moment. This hits different after hearing his unfortunate passing. RIP Franco
This was recommended for me today. RIP to Franco Harris

Rest In Peace Franco Harris, Amen to an NFL legend 🤘
Franco my favorite NFL player... looking great
Franco's Army!
Franco's Italian Army!
RIP you will be missed

Coming from a Dallas fan my condolences to Franco's family
Franco Harris 1st class football player. Rip🙏
I watched that game live and have so much respect for the Steelers organization. RIP Franco!
Franco and Terry hugging reminiscing 😢
The obvious love between Terry and Franco is a thing of transcendent beauty.
Franco Harris represents the words class act!!

If you want to see a Steelers fan flip his lid, just say, "the Immaculate Reception was an incomplete pass", then sit back and watch. RIP Franco.
Magic!
i love it. Franco could still get low to scoop it up. the real play was a split second to grab it & run it in. 😊👍
Absolutely!!!
RIP Mr. Harris
RIP Legend
Rip Franco Harris
THE Greatest catch of all time... It Propelled the Steelers into a perennial winning team... REST IN PEACE
Yeah man I love that line I think Dan Rooney said it first, before Franco we never won, when he arrived we never lost! Even Joe Greene agrees!
Amen to an NFL legend Franco Harris
To authenticate the replay the players should have been in uniform.
I still can’t believe that he caught that
Neither can Franco.
Neither could the cameraman

This is how you can tell I'm a very casual football fan. I had NO IDEA that THAT was THE Terry Bradshaw from that very play.
Lol oh wow 😂
Why don't you retire from watching football? it isn't for you, try watching tennis? Your comment is polluting the comment section.
U thought It was Flutie??...
Ay ay ay.....
Yes, the original #12👍✌️

Immaculate Reception Day, Dec 23 should be national holiday.
This Is PRICELESS !!!....
1. Immaculate Reception 2. Hail Mary 3. The Catch (Montana to Clark) 4. The Helmet Catch (Manning to Tyree)
The Catch has to the most overrated play in NFL history.
RIP Franco Harris. I wish he lived 3 more days to see the 50th anniversary.
The description is wrong. The play was NOT during the Super Bowl.
Rip Franco harris
Anyone hear Bill Burr rip on commentators how they come out to a little football field to reenact plays… here it is
rip legend
I personally think this and David tyrees are the greatest catch ever
Rip Franco Harris 🙏
R.I.P. 🪦 Franco Harris
I was hoping Strahan would have gone Jack Tatum give Glazer a big hit. R.I.P. Franco Harris.
RIP
Rest in peace Franco Harris 🙏
Gracias a este video podemos ver a nuestros ídolos del fútbol americano gracias por tantas emociones por siempre Franco Harris RIP
The play would have really been the greatest in history if the Steelers would have went on to win the Superbowl, but they lost to the Dolphins in AFC Championship game
IT TOUCHED THE GROUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope it didn't, cope.
Frenchy knows....😏🙃
MOM BOUGHT
"FRANCO'S ITALIAN ARMY"
SWEAT SHIRTS AT GEE BEE'S.
The 'Burgh!
Only at GeeBee's
All "Franco".
The years fell off of these guys as Terry dropped back here in this clip.
Truth!!!!!! I said uhhhh ohhhhhh look at Terry!!!!!!!! I thought he was about to throw that ball for real!!!!!!!! :D
@@MsMichelle1432 I was amazed at how it looked. It felt like going back to the '70s.
@@MsMichelle1432 Me too, you know he wanted to, I know he's older now, but I bet he can still throw that pig skin a good distance!👍✌️
Maybe he admitted to St. Peter that the ball hit the ground.
RIP Franco.
rest in peace ledged
Have always had a crush on franco Harris. He gets better looking all the time
Like me
Bradshaw, Mr. Vaccine Policeman.
Rip Franco
RIP FRANCO
I like to think Terry and Franco went out to dinner together later that evening.
We all knew were we were when it happened
FRANCO HARRIS NEVER EVER “scooped the ball up”.
“
Rip😣
No bro hugs from Terry and Curt.
AND TAKES IT IN FOR THE WINNING SCORE AND GO ON TO THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!! where they lost to the Miami Dolphins
The old version of the Minneapolis miracle make an incredibly Miraculous play go on to lose the AFC Championship game anyway
That miracle seemed meaningless after they lost to the Dolphins, but they’d win the Super Bowl 2 years later.
Nothing is meaningless
Unless you can truly understand being in the moment you half a momo
Watch the new angle, it clearly hit Jack Tatum. (This was great)
Cool
The Immaculate deception..... C'mon Franco... just admit you trapped the ball off the turf
Why would he admit something he didn't do?
It touched Fuqua and the ground.
rip

Jimmy had one job
It ain’t no sworn to secrecy between two opposing football teams… The truth is the truth. And I think it did not touch the ground.
Jimmy Johnson? I thought that was Boris Yeltsin! Travel well, Franco.
Such sad news.
It looked like the ball hit the ground
this was an era when real sports were played. I have not watched the Nfl since tomlin won with cowers team. NFL is now about on the par of professional wrestling, Lambert was right quarter backs should be required to wear a dress, Tom Brady this is you.
Whose idea for that ridiculousness was that? Great to see Franco though.
Looks and sounds and feels like the ball hit the ground! Sad
If it was actually a catch it would have been. I have no rooting interest for either team, but in 2022, that would have just been a missed opportunity
