Pada 23 Desember 1972, Pittsburgh Steelers mencatat sejarah dengan meraih kemenangan playoff pertamanya melalui sebuah permainan yang kelak dikenang sebagai 'Immaculate Reception'. Kini, 50 tahun kemudian, quarterback legendaris Terry Bradshaw kembali memegang bola yang menjadi simbol momen bersejarah itu.
Bola tersebut muncul dalam acara draft di resor Nemacolin, sekitar 70 mil dari Pittsburgh. Saat menerima bola yang sedikit kempes, Bradshaw berkomentar, 'Ini agak kempes. Pasti sempat ke New England.'
Bola 'Immaculate Reception' awalnya digunakan untuk tendangan ekstra poin setelah Franco Harris menangkap umpan Bradshaw dan mencetak touchdown. Setelah berpindah tangan beberapa kali, bola tersebut kini dimiliki oleh seorang penggemar bernama Jim Baker.
Menurut rencana, bola bersejarah ini akan dipajang di dekat patung Franco Harris di Bandara Internasional Pittsburgh, sebagai penghormatan atas momen tak terlupakan dalam sejarah NFL.
