If you are an NFL fan, you know what the Immaculate Reception is. It’s the type of play that despite being 47 years ago, fans still debate the play and its outcome. In case you forgot, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Franco Harris scooped up a deflected pass intended for John Fuqua. It bounced off Oakland Raiders defensive back Jack Tatum, Harris caught it off the carom and took it in for a touchdown. This play was voted the greatest play in NFL history.
The play sent the Steelers to the Super Bowl yet it remains shrouded in mystery. There is no camera angle to show if Harris made the catch clean or scooped it off the ground and we will never know. If that play happened today there would be 18 camera angles showing the play from every direction and the officials would still probably get it wrong.
