Den 23. december 1972 skrev Pittsburgh Steelers historie med en af de mest ikoniske plays nogensinde i amerikansk fodbold. Nu, 50 år senere, holdt tidligere quarterback Terry Bradshaw for første gang siden den legendariske Immaculate Reception bolden i sine hænder igen.
Bradshaw modtog bolden under et draft-arrangement på Nemacolin-resortet, cirka 70 kilometer fra Pittsburgh. Da han fik bolden i hænderne, udbrød han: "Den er lidt flad. Måske har den været i New England."
Bolden, som blev brugt til ekstrapoint efter Franco Harris' touchdown, havde oprindeligt tilhørt en fan ved navn Jim Baker. Han havde bevaret den i årtier, indtil den blev præsenteret for Bradshaw under begivenheden.
Ifølge lokale medier er det planen, at bolden snart skal placeres ved Franco Harris' statue på Pittsburgh International Airport, hvor den kan ses af fans og besøgende.
