Immaculate Reception Story
Figured this was off-topic and not EK, even though the story is on the front page.
The Steelers and Raiders were not tied 7-7. The Steelers trailed 7-6. It was 4th and 10 with 22 seconds left, and Pittsburgh had no time outs left. An incompletion there ends the game.
That - as well as the ricochet - is what made the play Immaculate.
And I will add that as a Pittsburgher, I heard that game on the radio. I didn’t see the play live. The NBC TV broadcast was blacked out in Pittsburgh.
