The Immaculate Reception (pops new tab/window)

Sweet play, but I think Tyree's catch beats it due to less luck being involved... Now if Bradshaw intentionally threw it where he did to get the deflection he got, and meaning for Harris to catch it... THAT would be something... Also, one was Super Bowl, other was division title... Comparison:

Bradshaw did a decent job of avoiding the rush, and a quick move right before the pass definitely saved him. He throws to someone who gets murdered upon impact with the ball, and the ball is then bounced backwards, where Franco Harris happens to be. The fact that he had the awareness to react quickly enough to catch the ball is great, but the catch itself is less than impressive, as the ball was not the bullet that left Bradshaw's hand, but a ball with all the speed and uncatchability of me casually tossing a ball underhanded form 10 yards away.

Eli shoulda been sacked twice, then he managed to break away, and throw the ball 40 yards (only a 32 yard play, but he was well behind scrimmage) to a receiver who has the ball knocked away, yet still manages to secure it, with his helmet! Then having the awareness to grab the ball with his other hand before he hit the ground, and secure the catch...
