description

Rookie Franco Harris took this fourth-quarter handoff on a muddy day in Cleveland and bounced it to the outside. He shook off a would-be tackler and cut it up the field. He dodged another diving defender and was in the open field, taking it 75 yards for the touchdown to tie the game. He carried the ball 12 times for 136 yards and this score in the game, a 26-24 Pittsburgh loss to the Browns on Nov. 19, 1972.
