I remember the time Terry Bradshaw threw the immaculate reception for a TD to beat the Oakland Raiders in the final seconds of the game.
My brother, John, was the Coach of the Raiders at the time. I watched it on TV as it was in Pittsburg. It's important to note that this was an away game for Oakland. The Raiders seldom lost at home.
The Raider fans were intense as were the Steeler's fans. So, it was an illegal play at the time. Two offensive players touched the forward pass. But, I ask yoou, who is going to call back a game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock and thousands of screaming fans pumping adrenaline and ready to storm the field? There isn't enough security to hold a crowd in that situation.
So, when the officials refused to call back the Seattle Seahawk game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock on Monday night when they played the Green Bay Packers, do you think they were concerned with survival? How would they make it to the tunnel? How would they make their way to the parking lot? Possibly these were their thoughts. After all, the 12th man in Seattle has a ferocious reputation.
p.s. I love Golden Tate!
