50 years ago, Franco Harris' miracle catch turned the tide for the Steelers [View all]

It has been 50 years since one incredible, barroom-debating, physics-defining, still-disputed moment changed the course of a franchise, exhilarated a city and would become to be known as the greatest single play in NFL history.

December 23, 1972. Appropriately, the (black and) golden anniversary.

The Immaculate Reception.

A moniker as great as the play itself.
