00:00We'll go in order. The Immaculate Reception for the Steelers in 1972, a play that changed
00:05the rules in the NFL. Again, remember, this is a pre-replay. At the time, in that age in NFL
00:12history,
00:13a guy could not deflect the pass to a teammate unless an opponent touched it in between.
00:21And the referees on the field determined that the ball had hit Frenchie Fuqua and also Jack Tatum,
00:28the Raiders' safety, went from Fuqua to Tatum, then to Franco Harris, and they ended up changing
00:35the rule, and the Steelers went on to become a dynasty in the NFL.
00:39There were two things. You didn't know if it was deflected by the opponent or not, and whether
00:43it hit the ground or not on the deflection.
00:45Correct. Yes, that's right. He made a shoestring grab on the actual reception itself, and they
00:50called that a catch. Also not reviewable. Don Denkiger in the 1985 World Series can fall
00:55under the category of a blown officials call, but again, certainly helped the Kansas City
01:01Royals win the World Series. The Cardinals were trying to close it out in Game 6. They
01:06were up 1-0 in the 9th inning. Don Denkiger blew a call at first base, opened the door.
01:12The Royals rallied. They won the game. They won Game 7 behind Brett Saberhagen and won the
01:17World Series. It would have been St. Louis' series otherwise.
01:19I put David Tyree's helmet catch on this list because that thing was an act of God. There
01:28is no way that ball should have stayed above the ground, and somehow it did.
