The Immaculate Reception
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oakland Raiders
1972 AFC Divisional Playoff
December 23rd, 1972
Three Rivers Stadium

The 1972 Divisional Playoff game with the Oakland Raiders
produced the single most exciting and memorial play in NFL history. The Immaculate Reception not only helped in defeating the Raiders on that day in December of 1972, it changed an entire city into Champions. The Steelers went on to become the Team of the Decade, where the Raiders went on to only finish second in most cases to the Steelers.
