Even on that play, the greatest in the 103-year history of the NFL, Franco Harris was so much more than the beneficiary of a blessed bounce, and so much more than the Steelers rookie who stumbled into the right place at the right time.
Steelers running back Franco Harris carries the ball against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 3, 1974.I was an 8-year-old viewer at the time, and it is my first vivid football memory. Before, during, or after every single Steelers game I’ve watched over the decades, I’ve thought of that childhood time and place when there was no such thing as cable TV, the NFL RedZone channel, or many roughing-the-passer calls.
Harris never let them down, either, always handling the requests with humility and grace. The same goes for referee Fred Swearingen who, without the benefit of instant replay to determine whether Pittsburgh’s Frenchy Fuqua or Oakland’s Jack Tatum or both had deflected the ball, decided that the touchdown should stand.
