In this Dec. 23, 1972, file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers' Franco Harris (32) eludes a tackle by Oakland Raiders' Jimmy Warren as he runs 42-yards for a touchdown after catching a deflected pass during an AFC Divisional NFL football playoff game in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022 they will retire the No. 32 of Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris during a Christmas Eve game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The honour will come 50 years and one day after Harris' iconic "Immaculate Reception" in a playoff victory over the Raiders. (Harry Cabluck/AP, File)
