About this product
It is the most famous play in football history ... and also perhaps the most controversial. The Immaculate Reception not only continues to fascinate us today, it has gone down as the play that launched the Steelers' dynasty in the 1970s.
Now you can relive the Steelers' memorable 1972 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the opening day surprise sprung on the Raiders through Pittsburgh's playoff run, including the shocker that Franco Harris pulled on those same Raiders, as told in the original newspaper stories.
The talented young Steelers put it all together in 1972 and took the NFL by storm, ending decades of futility with one glorious march to the AFC Central title and on to the brink of the Super Bowl. There were many highlights along the way, including that Week 1 win over Oakland that signaled there was a new power in the AFC, a dominating end-of-season stretch in which the Steelers won four straight to wrap up the Central while allowing a meager 15 points, and of course the unforgettable playoff win over the Raiders courtesy of Franco's extraordinary catch and run.
All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Chuck Noll's crew from start to finish as it thrilled the Steel City and set the stage for even greater glory to come.
Whether you are a die-hard Steelers fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1972 Pittsburgh Steelers.
