The funny part is the tackling.

Raiders had to wait about two years to get a break in the playoffs, when they beat the Dolphins on that "Sea of Hands" catch out in Oakland when Stabler was getting sacked, and threw that end of end pass for the td.; this one though had to be the most painful

One of the greatest things about this play is the way the Raiders and their fans whine and complain about this play. The Raiders---a team that won more games in more bizarre & fucked up ways than any team in professional sports--can't shake the fact that this play happened to them. "It has to be a conspiracy!!" I love watching Phil Villapiano talk about it. He ages 5 years before your eyes. TFF! Keep whining!!

@bubbabubbabooba No, Bradshaw couldn't have thrown the ball 35 yards with such force that it could bounce back over 7 yards off Fuqua into the hands of Harris. You want to see how hard Tatum was charging upfield, look at the original broadcast and see how Fuqua was hit so hard he was knocked of his feet and sent flying. This was the same amount of energy applied to the ball that caused it to bounce back upfield into Harris' hands.

A play this awesome won't happen again for another 1,000 years.

This was the last football game I watched with my father. He passed away 9 days later on Jan. 4 1973. I was 16 he was 61. My Dad's team was the Packers and on this day my team became the Steelers. The DREAM Super Bowl I have waited for, for 38 years is NOW happening. It's my Dad's team against mine.

Lucky, unlucky. Legal, illegal. The bottom line this play was only possible because Tatum felt obliged to put one of his patented cheap shots to the head/neck on Fuqua, causing the ball to go flailing into the air such as it did and the rest is history. If he had simply put a clean, hard tackle on Fuqua, the Raiders would have won. By the way Tatum died this year. Too bad.
