Greg T. -Frenchy Fuqua Steelers-.
So, it\'s almost like the Bible: A myth to some, and a faith to others.
If you\'re a sinner like them damn Raiders, then you\'ll never accept it. -Phil Villapiano Raiders- That play, if you are a Steeler fan, you believe in it.
That\'s a beautiful thing.
And we are still talking about it 50 years later.
I don\'t know if it was fair and square, but they won.
They won. -George Atkinson Raiders- In the greatest games, every little thing counts; one little thing changes and the game is completely different.
We got deceived.
The officials were deceived.
The public was deceived. -Franco Harris Steelers- The Immaculate Deception. -Bruce Van Dyke Steelers- That one play altered the course of the Steelers\' franchise. -Barry Pearson Steelers- The most memorable moment in sports. -Art Rooney Jr.- It was the defining moment in Steelers\' history.
I thought, and still do, that it was the greatest play ever.
They did see it on replay because they kept showing it.
Everybody in the world said they saw it live. -Narrator: A Football Life: The Immaculate Reception- It was tremendous.
This is a story of a play that has lived a life of its own.
It\'s been 50 years since Franco Harris worked what\'s been called the \'Miracle of all Miracles, \' and the play has been a mystery ever since.
The last desperate hope of a team and a town that had always been destined to lose.
But before it became all these things, it was just a football play.
The Immaculate Reception is a myth; a miracle; a cottage industry; a conspiracy; a crime; and a detective story.
Tens of thousands witnessed it, but nobody saw it.
The play had lasted for just 17 seconds.
What happened? People have been asking that question ever since.
The greatest play and moment in football history, and the team that launched the Steeler\'s dynasty In the words of those who played, coached, refereed, and covered the 1972 season, team, and play.
Walker felt like it was high time to finally tell the tale of the Immaculate Reception and the 1972 Pittsburgh Steelers.
