What do many Oakland Raiders fans still call the touchdown catch that cost them a 1972 playoff game victory?
Correct answer: “The Immaculate Deception”

I remember the play very well. I was at my Grandma's house in Inglewood, CA, when it happened. That play and the Tom Brady fumble in the snow are 2 plays the Raiders would rather not have as part of their history. Both plays resulted in rule changes by the league.

Amazing play by both teams. Franco Harris: right place, right time, and overall great talent! Fantastic statue at Greater Pittsburgh Airport, as well as bronze footprints on North Side.

Shiboge, the rule has been changed for many years

I don’t know if it is a rule today but I do beiieve I remember a rule that a passed ball can’t touch two different offensive players consecutively. This ball hit Tatum, a defensive player, which makes this a legal catch.
