The Immaculate Reception
It's long been debated on whether Fuqua hit the ball before Franco Harris scored the winning Touchdown in this AFC Showdown featuring the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers on December 23, 1972
.Many people believe that Jack Tatum was going for the big hit on Fuqua, which led to a breakdown on the play...many believe Tatum hit the ball, which would make the Franco Harris reception legal....
This video slows down the actual hit and you can clearly see Tatum is actually attempting to intercept the ball, and it appears Fuqua arrives at the last second, and his helmet is between Tatum and the ball...
Does this breakdown change your mind?
