There were many amazing things in that game. Pittsburgh led 6-0 with less than a minute to go, then Oakland scored a touchdown to go up 7-6. That was devastating for the Steelers. And it was 4th and long when the play occurred, so it was do or die. Finally, Oakland swatted down the final pass, so it appeared the game was over. For Harris to then grab the deflected ball and run it for the game winning and AFC championship clinching touchdown was off the charts.
If Franco makes the same play in the second quarter of a regular season game, no big deal. As stated by others, it was the circumstance.
